What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An air outlet for a ventilation device, the ventilation device comprising at least an air outlet, an air supply means, and an air guiding device, wherein the air outlet includes a plate having air outlet openings, and wherein the air outlet is in the installed state foldably mounted to an interior paneling such that it can be folded out of the interior paneling to allow for accessing a space there-behind. 
     
     
         2 . The air outlet according to  claim 1 , wherein the interior paneling is a drywall ceiling or a drywall wall. 
     
     
         3 . The air outlet according to  claim 2 , wherein the plate has a cover frame which at least partially covers the air outlet openings. 
     
     
         4 . The air outlet according to  claim 3 , wherein the cover frame is arranged so that it seals air outlet openings laterally disposed of the ventilation device. 
     
     
         5 . The air outlet according to  claim 4 , wherein the cover frame is arranged in a manner of a closed frame on the plate. 
     
     
         6 . The air outlet according to  claim 5 , wherein the cover frame is arranged on the side of the plate that faces the ventilation device. 
     
     
         7 . The air outlet according to  claim 6 , wherein the cover frame comprises a chamfer, preferably a 45° chamfer, arranged at the edge facing the ventilation device. 
     
     
         8 . The air outlet according to  claim 7 , wherein the plate has a thickness less than the surrounding interior paneling, wherein the thickness difference between the plate and interior paneling is balanced by a spacer so that in a locked state the lower edge of the plate is flush with the lower edge of the surrounding interior paneling. 
     
     
         9 . The air outlet according to  claim 8 , wherein the plate has a releasable locking device by means of which it is releasably secured to the interior paneling. 
     
     
         10 . The air outlet according to  claim 9 , wherein a side of the plate visible to a viewer has the same design as compared to the interior paneling, so that plate does not visually differ with respect to the design and fits seamlessly into the surrounding interior paneling. 
     
     
         11 . The air outlet according to  claim 10 , wherein the plate is covered on the side visible to the viewer with plasterboard liner or with a fleece, and wherein said plasterboard liner or fleece can be primed and treated with a paint. 
     
     
         12 . A drywall ceiling comprising a substructure of a plurality of metal profiles, an interior paneling mounted on the metal profiles and at least one ventilation device comprising at least one air supply means, an air guiding device and an air outlet, wherein the air outlet is in the installed state foldably mounted to an interior paneling such that it can be folded out of the interior paneling to allow for accessing a space there-behind. 
     
     
         13 . The drywall ceiling according to  claim 12 , wherein the interior paneling comprises plasterboards, in particular perforated gypsum plasterboards. 
     
     
         14 . The drywall ceiling according to  claim 13 , wherein the perforated gypsum plasterboard has a perforation pattern, and wherein the air outlet openings of the plate have the same pattern as the perforation pattern of the perforated gypsum plasterboard and extend the perforation pattern of the perforated gypsum plasterboard. 
     
     
         15 . The drywall ceiling according to  claim 14 , wherein the distance between perforations at the transition from the perforated gypsum plasterboard board to the air outlet openings in the plate is the same as compared to the distance between adjacent perforations in the perforated gypsum plasterboard.
