Inside a Wasp Nest

This morning I had to catch this summer's first #wasp that had somehow gotten indoors and throw it out of the door!
Luckily this year, I already had my CD-R spindle cover ready in the shelf near the windows. Very handy for catching bugs harmlessly, that! Kids these days would probably not be as prepared as I am!

Wespe oder Hornisse mit Schnittlauch
This insect is resting on my chivers. At first, I thought it had lost its wings, but they are there, at th lower sides of the insect. The insect is rather large, a bit more than 2 cm, I'd say.
Google image search thinks it's a vespula germanica or vespula vulgaris, but AFAIK these waps are smaller than 2cm. Can it be a European hornet (Vespa crabro)?
Um... Can I help u?
