I am not sure if it is a larva of an Artrhopod, or maybe some kinde of worm or slug. I have definitely no idea what this could be.
Can you tell the host plant? I am no coleopterology expert, but that animal looks exactly like a larva of the weevil
Stereonychus fraxini (Curculionidae, as Paul already wrote) which is very abundant here in Germany on ash (
Fraxinus excelsior). That does not exclude similar looking larvae of other Curculionidae, anyway...
