Hello!

I had already found rather similar larvae under bark (Sciaridae? Mycetophilidae?), but these from today (under a piece of bark on the ground near forest, Ostwestfalen/Germany) were much slimmer. Length about 10 mm. Are they diptera? Thanks in advance!

I'd go for Sciaridae.

I'm not sure about Sciaridae - I'd be happier if I could see the head! Wink

Nematoda was also one of my thoughts. Unfortunately I have no picture of the heads in higher resolution. Here only magnified parts of the larger pic in the link (of which I think are the front parts).
