Saw this [dead] snake(?) on a wooded path I walk with my dogs everyday. Now I’m worried there may be bigger ones nearby.

It’s a type of lizard without legs called Blindschleiche
A slow worm (Blindschleiche) attempting to moonlight as an Ouroboros.
It’s a lizard, but due to its lack of legs, most people think it’s a snake.
As the others have said, it’s a slow worm. They’re not venomous.
I think Germany is home to adders, so there is a venomous snake that lives here, but they’re rarely enountered and seeing a slow worm isn’t a sign that anything more dangerous is nearby.
Snakes are technically lizards too, and slow-worms are more closely related to snakes than to all our other non-snake lizards in Germany.
But this is not a snake, it’s a slow-worm.
It’s a snizard
Lake
Whew… that’s an animal I wouldn’t want to see without knowing what it was lol

Oroborus
Ourobouros
It’s a young lindworm. Better get a battle axe and a plate armor. His parents may be nearby.
