Hello!
It's a male
Temnostoma vespiforme.

This one reminds me more of T. meridionalis! Compare with the pictures in the gallery:
The yellow spot before the alar lobes does not reach the alar lobes, which are black; the yellow streak at the suture interrupted in the middle. (In
vespiforme it would be: The yellow spot before the alar lobes reaches and covers the lobes, which are partly yellow; the yellow streak at suture of the thoracic dorsum uninterrupted.)

Hello Andre,
thanks for your comment! I was not aware of that species, thought
T. vespiforme was indistinguishable (so I even did not take a look at the gallery and replied to a Syrphidae post - which I normally leave to the experts... ;)). Now I see that
T. meridionale is also listed for Germany. I will have to take a look at my own pictures of the species (perhaps plural...).
