![Female Scarce chaser (Libellula fulva) The German common name, “Spitzenfleck”, alludes to the little black spot at the tip of the wings.
[Obsolete]
Based on the habitat (alluvial meadow in the fairly warm Upper Rhine region) and the date (end of May), this dragonfly could be a Red-veined darter (Sympetrum fonscolombii). It seems pretty obvious that it belongs to the family of Libellulidae.
