The glass package (10) includes connecting means (18, 20, 28) for a permanent connection between the inner glass pane (12) and the at least one further glass pane (14, 16). The inner glass pane (12) and the at least one further glass pane (14, 16) are arranged plane-parallel to each other. An intermediate space is formed between two adjacent glass panes (12, 14, 16). At least one slot (19) and/or channel (30) enclose or encloses at least partially the circumferential sides of the glass package (10) along a circumferential direction. The width and height of the inner glass pane (12) are bigger than the width and height, respectively, of the at least one further glass pane (14, 16) and of any further component of the glass package (10), wherein the widths and heights of the glass panes (12, 14, 16) relate to the large-area sides of said glass panes (12, 14, 16). Further, the present invention relates to a corresponding framework (32) 25 for an oven door of a cooking oven. Moreover, the present invention relates to an oven door including the glass package (10) and the framework (32).
