Seen in the Technik-Museum in Speyer, Germany. Searching for the
registration D-EAAQ turns up Cessna 172 and Klemm L35, so that can't
be it. There's the logo of the Air Power 09 Steiermark on both sides;
their site doesn't show anything about this plane.
It's very similar to the Rutan Quickie, but the main gear arrangement
is different. I'm sure it's an experimental, though.

Yep, that's a Dragonfly. The outrigger main gear was sometimes a
handful for some pilots, so some modified the canard and put the gear
where you see it. Gary LeGare's Q2 was built more for speed, but the
Dragonfly more for efficiency. I believe it originally was designed
for and had good performance with a 45 h.p. VW engine, but most went
for more h.p. I built and flew Rutan's Q1. Nice plane, especially
after I replaced the Onan with a Rotax. Great fun to fly.
