This is also a sawfly, albeit not quite as cooperative photographically – I only managed this one shot.

It's in genus Athalia, the gloriously-named tigress sawflies: in particular, I think it's a bugle tigress (Athalia cordata). It doesn't have a specific name in German, but would be called a Pflanzenwespe.
