Big black bug in Southern Germany

Yesterday we were sitting on a porch and suddenly a wild bug appeared. It was completely black¹ and had no horn etc. It just looked like a common bug without any special features. Okay, nothing special so far, but it was huge! The insect was about 5 cm long. I've never seen such an animal before. Also, the guy was able to fly. After taking a nap on our table he flew away. The flight was a little bit turbulent. It hit every wall, lamp etc. it could find :)

Is one able to identify it without any picture and this vague information? This happened in South Germany (Central Europe) around 10:00 P.M..
