This litte(ca.2mm) fly I found in the year 2009, at June 17th in my garden in Dortmund/ Westgermany.
Is it Agromyzidae or Chloropidae or another one?

That would be Chloropidae.
Cetema?

To the eye, an Agromyzidae is a Chloropidae with bristles.

As Paul already suspected it is a species of the genus Cetema Hendel, 1907 (Chloropidae, Chloropinae). Except C. cereris with a yellow arista, all other speecies can only be identified after the male genitalia. Cetema larvae are developing in grasses.
