Hallo Nico, an excellent picture of this moth showing details very well in spite of its 'small' size (wing span, I guess, about 16 mm). You show a species of the 'micromoth' family Oecophoridae; the name is Schiffermuelleria schaeferella. It is widespread in Europe. Determination of 'micromoths' is often difficult and sometimes impossible based on a picture only. Alabonia geofrella also belongs to the family Oecophoridae but can be easily distinguished from schaeferella.
There are a number of expensive books on 'micromoths'. For an overview I recommend:
Parenti U (2000) A Guide to the Microlepidoptera of Europe. - Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali Torino.
