It is a cantharid but not R. fulva. I could run it through a British key but that might be misleading if it is from Germany.

Cantharis livida perhaps!

Thank you for helping me .. Cantharis livida could be right .. in my book there is a image where he has black wing caps but the drawings on the feet are very identical ... hmmm :-))

It is Cantharis livida, the spot of black gives it away!
