1 . A galley module, comprising: a base galley section and a top galley section, wherein the base galley section comprises a top end adapted for carrying the top galley section, wherein the base galley section comprises a first functional arrangement with a first access direction in a horizontal plane, wherein a main part of the top galley section comprises at least one second functional arrangement having a second access direction in the horizontal plane and wherein the first access direction and the second access direction enclose an angle of at least 90° in the horizontal plane. 2 . The galley module of claim 1 , wherein the angle enclosed by the first access direction and the second access direction is 90°. 3 . The galley module of claim 1 , wherein the angle enclosed by the first access direction and the second access direction is 180°. 4 . The galley module of claim 1 , wherein the first functional arrangement comprises at least one storage space for receiving containers for use inside the cabin. 5 . The galley module of claim 1 , wherein the second functional arrangement comprises at least one storage compartment. 6 . The galley module of claim 1 , wherein the base galley section comprises a width, which exceeds the depth of the top galley section. 7 . The galley module of claim 2 , wherein the base galley section comprises a working surface, which extends from a first lateral wall of the base galley section to an access side of the top galley section. 8 . The galley module of claim 1 , further comprising a holder for attaching a partition curtain. 9 . The galley module of claim 1 , wherein the second functional arrangement is adapted for housing galley inserts. 10 . A cabin arrangement for a cabin of a vehicle, comprising: a cabin floor; and a galley module arranged on the cabin floor, the galley module, comprising: a base galley section and a top galley section, wherein the base galley section comprises a top end adapted for carrying the top galley section, wherein the base galley section comprises a first functional arrangement with a first access direction in a horizontal plane, wherein a main part of the top galley section comprises at least one second functional arrangement having a second access direction in the horizontal plane and wherein the first access direction and the second access direction enclose an angle of at least 90° in the horizontal plane. 11 . The cabin arrangement of claim 10 , further comprising a door region, wherein an access side of the base galley section faces to the door region. 12 . The cabin arrangement of claim 10 , wherein the galley module rests flush against an inner wall of the cabin, wherein an access side of the top galley section faces away from said inner wall. 13 . The cabin arrangement of claim 10 , further comprising a partition curtain extending between the galley module and a monument inside the cabin. 14 . The cabin arrangement of claim 13 , wherein the galley module is arranged between an aisle and a door region, wherein the partition curtain extends between an edge of the galley module facing the aisle and the monument. 15 . An aircraft cabin arrangement, comprising: a cabin floor; and a galley module arranged on the cabin floor, the galley module, comprising: a base galley section, and a top galley section, wherein the base galley section comprises a top end adapted for carrying the top galley section, wherein the base galley section comprises a first functional arrangement with a first access direction in a horizontal plane, wherein a main part of the top galley section comprises at least one second functional arrangement having a second access direction in the horizontal plane and wherein the first access direction and the second access direction enclose an angle of at least 90° in the horizontal plane, a partition curtain extending between the galley module and a monument inside the cabin, and wherein the galley module is arranged between an aisle and a door region, wherein the partition curtain extends between an edge of the galley module facing the aisle and the monument.
