Dear all,
during a walk in a shady forest in Northeastern Germany around Easter I have observed many of the flowers shown in the attached pictures. The surroundings were rather moist and rotten trees were close by. I would highly appreciate, if someone can tell me which kind of woodland plant this is.

Arvind is correct. This is Lathraea squamaria (Orobanchaceae)
Of course Lathraea squamaria, it is Scrophulariaceae family
