Away from the sunshine, this little moth was hiding away, probably waiting for evening.

It's called Clepsis dumicolana, & while it lacks an English name, apparently, it's the Efeuwickler in German, or ivy winder.

And indeed, it's sitting on an ivy leaf here – apparently they arrived in central Europe from the Mediterranean on imported ivy plants.
