The Speisekammer 2/3 of the height under the window and entered from the kitchen is missing. But despite that it looks like the average Berlin Bathroom.
Kitchen and Bathroom were usually next to each other. In the kitchen is a small door to a room with a small window. This room has about 2/3 of the floor height. Is was used as a kind of refrigerator (by opening the window). In the bathroom is only a channel above the Speisekammer with a small window, which is only to get the perfume out.

From my Dutch understanding of German Speisekammer is ‘food room’, so what’s that doing in a bathroom?
Or am I missing something?
