And this is a garden tiger (arctia caja).
It was sitting in the grass and I almost treaded on it.
First I thought it was dead. But when I carefully put my finger underneath it was hanging onto it.
When I tried to put it on a leaf it flew away and I was happy.

Note the other individuals struggling for the thistle bloom
Edit: Thanks to AlanF, I could identify this butterfly green-veined white (pieris napi)

It looks to me it could be a Cryptic Wood White and it has some similarity to a Green Veined.This time that one really should be a large cabbage white, shouldn't it?

You are right. A friend of mine and I checked it and it is indeed a green-veined white (pieris napi).
Thank you very much for helping me.

A male musk beetle (aromia moschata), even though I couldn't recognize any of its typical musky smell. It was about 4 cm long, the antennae about 6 cm.

A ringlet (aphantopus hyperantus). One German common name "Schornsteinfeger" = chimney sweeper.
I was closer than the MFD of the 100-400L II which I recognized later at home. That's why the head is oof.
Nevertheless I like the pic.
