Franz,
A cnidarian polyp, or the distal parts of it which could also be a budding medusa ("ein Polypenköpfchen oder Medusenknöspchen"
), would be likely.
Edit to expand:
Franz, later today another possibility came to my mind to what group your animal could belong to, that I know from benthos samples: A zooid of the Kamptozoa. Then you would find no cnidocysts in the cells of the tentacles under higher magnification.
