Germany
In and outside our house (inside one, outside more of them)
This is a small one. Also found one about an inch long.

Literally a German (or "tawny") cockroach. 😶
Ok, new rabbit hole for me.
It could be one of these two:

or
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_cockroach
I hope it's not the latter.
here a comparison of the head section
Left: Ectobius Vittiventris, Right: German Cockroach
I'm not sure if there are those stripes on my picture or if they are just shadows.
Smart money's on the former being a cover story for the latter to establish itself in the home... 😵💫
In short: kill 'em all. The former's gonna die anyhow, but the latter is looking to plaster your subfloors and similar with eggs. 😬
The stripes would be very prominent and more in the middle of its head
Thanks. That'll let me sleep tonight ^^
Anyway, I will take a closer look on one of the bigger guys, if I see any.
