Hi Josef - I'm changing my suggestion - a more careful look at the wing venation indicates that this is a tipuline - I was "distracted" by the way that the wings were held flat over the abdomen -
Tipula often (though not always) hold them out at an angle. So yes, I think
Tipula submarmorata or one of its relatives more likely. (But it would be good to wait for one of the tipulid experts to have a look. ;))
