Callicera it is, these antennae are very typical |t! With the key by van Veen (
https://books.goo...&hl=de) I arrive at
C. aurata, but (alas!) I have never seen members of our six native species, so I am not an expert at all... Great fly, anyway!

Thank you, Sundew!
if C. aurata is correct, it might be a first record for this federal state (Nordrhein-Westfalen), but I do not know the literature very well. I will ask another colleague and specialist...
