1. A covering assembly for a luggage compartment between a backrest and a tailgate of a motor vehicle, comprising:
a covering displaceably mounted to be fitted in a first position, in which a given surface of the covering faces upward, and in a second position, in which the covering is rotated through approximately 180° about an axis running in a transverse direction of the motor vehicle relative to the first position and the given surface now faces downward, said covering having a J-shaped longitudinal section with a bent-over end region,wherein in the first position said bent-over region faces upward towards the tailgate and is disposed at a rear end of said covering in a direction of travel and in the second position, said bent-over region faces downward and is disposed at a front end of said covering in the direction of travel;
wherein said covering, regardless of whether said covering is mounted in said first position or in said second position:
is pivotally mounted on the motor vehicle about a front edge thereof, as seen in the direction of travel; and
is configured to be operatively connected to the tailgate at a rear edge thereof, as seen in the direction of travel.
2. The covering assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said covering, on an edge region opposite said bent-over end region, has an edge bent over in an opposite direction with respect to said edge region.
3. The covering assembly according to claim 1 , wherein, regardless of the fitting position thereof, said covering is supported at least in punctiform manner at lateral edges thereof on the motor vehicle.
4. The covering assembly according to claim 1 , wherein, regardless of the fitting position thereof, the rear edge of said covering is connected to the tailgate via tension elements.
5. The covering assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said covering is formed with at least one trough depression.
6. The covering assembly according to claim 1 , wherein, when the tailgate of the motor vehicle is open, said covering is pivotable about the front edge through approx. 35° in comparison to the closed tailgate.
