I would post this as a question Nelke as there are a lot of very knowledgable members who may know what it is. I'm sorry we were unable to find the name for you. It is a delightful flower.

First I want to thank You again. In the questions I´ve got some answers. It is Lysimachia clethroides, snowy-gooseneck or sth. like that. An invasive, but beautiful cultivar. I´ll take care of it.

In UK we also call it Chinese Loosestrife. I am pleased you and we now know what it is. I am surprised it looks too solid and straight to be that as I would have expected the flowering stem to be drooping rather than rigid. It is very pretty.
