I am in the process of building a small kitchen and want to put up kitchen cabinets above the sink. The wall behind the sink consists of a gypsum board attached to vertical wooden studs (60 cm apart) against the "real/old wall," which I think is light concrete (the house is from the 1930s). The stud seems to be about 25 mm x 70 mm.
Now I'm wondering how to attach the cabinets to the wall. It is therefore 70 mm to the wall, and then the cabinet may be about 10 mm.
Is it a problem? Or do I just use a light concrete plug and a long screw? Are there screws that long, and will the gypsum board withstand the load?

One can replace the gyprock with a wooden board, for example. A strip 15cm high aligned with the cabinet's screw holes.

The tip from Beijer was that you should always mount kitchen cabinets on the wall or on studs. I don't think a wooden board nailed to the studs will hold the weight of a cabinet...?

Yes.. it holds. Did it on a masonite wall. If you're still unsure, you can kortla.

Sorry, but what does kortla mean?
 
I'm not so sure it's lightweight concrete if the house is from the 30s. I would guess brick maybe?
 
Google..
You place a piece of regel horizontally inside the wall between two reglar, which you then screw the cabinet into.
