In Wilhelma (Zoo): I only found them outside, first at some parrot enclosures (see image). The images are from specimen collected there, however, I also found some workers foraging west of it. One worker was also seen at "Terra Australis".
The queen on the third image was found dead and dismantled.
First leg. by @maxalotl

the coordinates are the exact spot of the colony.
information about the raid:
-robbed species: Formica cf. rufibarbis
-duration of the raid: more than one hour
-distance from the nest to the robbed colony ca. 72m
-observed behaviour: on the way to the nest wider swarm, on the way back more column like, workers of the defending colony tried to put substrate parts in the entrance of the nest, they rescured larvae by carrying them on blades of grass, aggression between the species was very rare
