Cream line on lowest edge of thorax protector (?) Suggests something like Roesel's Bush cricket:

That’s what I initially thought but striations on the hind legs mean it’s unlikely I think.
Turns out there’s a lot of very similar looking European bush crickets which makes determining species tricky as I’m guessing that a lot of them have variable colour morphs.

Yep you can see she’s guarding her egg sac (big white ball beneath her).
Also anybody any good at IDing bush crickets? Girlfriend’s family found this lady cricket in Vienna. Most likely Eupholidoptera but not able to id species.
