I just found this little fellow on my body with a red spot, I think it’s a flea. We were hiking today in south east Brandenburg. Should I be worried?

It definitely looks like a flea.
Fleas can transmit diseases (as can any insect that bites), but your personal risk is probably quite small. If you start to feel ill, you should see a doctor immediately, but otherwise don’t worry.
100% a flea
