  1. Hi Lars, this is not fuscispinus. Please look at my comment with this image:

    For your specimen I wouldn't want to choose between the two, but the location in northern Germany makes pudicus very unlikely so my best suggestion here is purpureipennis - without any guarantees of course.
    Cheers, Arp
