The right angle of the veins meeting near the wing tip is characteristic of Pipizella. Given the modest lengt of hairs on the hind tibia, I'd say P. viduata when you are so close to Denmark. But Germany has many spp. further south, as I understand it.

Thank you very much Karsten Smile. Yes, I'll change name to "Pipizella viduata".
Greetings Kuv
