Hello, Jan!

It's a Cantharid beetle. Looks mostly like Cantharis lateralis but I'm no expert and there are other species with a similar looking colouration.

C. lateralis:

Thank you very much, Juergen and cthirion! I suspected it was a Cantharis sp., but could not find a matching member of this genus. But lateralis seems perfectly right!
