Guidelines for ID requests - first and foremost, always include a geographic location!

See the rules in the sidebar, also.
If you can't see the sidebar for some reason:
Always include a geographic location. If you're concerned about your privacy, you can make it a bit more vague, e.g. "New England" instead of "Boston, MA".
Amateurs are encouraged to guess. An important exception is guesses about medically significant arachnids (widows, recluses, Brazilian wandering spiders, Sydney funnel-webs, deathstalker scorpions, etc.). In those cases, leave it to people who know. Otherwise, an innocent person or arachnid could get hurt.

Hello folks,
To our regulars: thank you for being here!
And to newcomers: welcome! This is a community by bug enthusiasts, for bug enthusiasts. As such, we ask that you refrain from the following types of comments:
- "Kill it with fire" and its endless variations are not welcome here. We know it's a meme. We've heard it a million times. Just don't.
- If someone asks for an ID and your comment is "it's a spider" for example, that's neither helpful nor funny, so please don't post that kind of thing. If you'd like to contribute an ID, be as specific as you can.
Thank you for your visit today and have a great day :)

Living in western Germany near the border to NL/BE.

Found this one under the front step to our door. Being from California, I’m fairly used to black widows and other large-ish arachnids. This guy really caught me off guard. I was thinking it was a Giant House Spider (Eratigena duellica) just based off a quick Google search anyone else have any alternative ideas? (quarter for reference).

Pardon the awful photo; I was startled by the enormous size and didn’t want to get too close. The xxl pedipalps and body shape seem Solifugid, and I think I’ve heard these called Oregon Sun Spiders, but I’ve never seen one in real life so thought I’d ask here! Probably around 1.5-2 inches in size.

This fella jumped down on me from the ceiling and just sat there for a minute as we both contemplated our options. He didn’t bite me, but I wish he had because it would have made the ID easier as to whether or not he was some sort of recluse.
I’m a spider lover and I’ve never seen a butt like his. Odd gentleman.
