Seems to be maybe Laptorchestes berolinensis - maybe there are similar species in your area.

Salticid for sure...It might be a Myrmarachne...

According to my Atlas of European Spiders Leptorchestes fits better (not only because I am "berolinensis" too :D!). This spider has a distinct groove in the black abdomen and also a black thorax. Myrmarachne formicaria has no groove and is more colourful (half black, half brown). This is the only species of Myrmarachne described in my book. - A slight groove is also seen in the abdomen of Synageles venator. However, the basal half of the abdomen has to be brown. So I vote for the first one!

PS. A body length of 10 mm is a bit much for all the species under discussion. However, Leptorchestes is the biggest one with max. 7 mm.

I'd go for Leptorchestes too - see http://salticidae...ro-kph.htm

I just noticed that it is a Leptorchestes: Myrmarachne are just too "fat".

Found another one from salticidae (jumping spider) family. Body size 5 mm. Confirming 10 mm of Leptorchestes berolinensis. This one is much smaller.
id ?
