Bug Identification Please Help
Hi, guys.

The bugs in picrel are indoors. I hate the feeling of these bugs dropping from the ceiling and flying into my ear and I need to evaluate what kind of pest threat they are. What are they? Do any of you recognize them? How do I get rid of them?

>more info coming soon

About myself and some environmental conditions:
>my location is northern Germany ; I live next to/~50yds from a large public garden area and my window faces the side of the student dorm with dumpsters – however, in my building, I live on the 7th floor
>it is the end of summer, it hasn't rained anytime recently, hasn't rained in maybe the last week
>I have literally never seen these bugs until two days ago, creeping along the outside of my window which was closed, leading me to believe they cannot cross a hermetically sealed boundary
>they only come late in the day/at night –as I write this, it is the morning and my window is open to get some fresh air in the room and the bugs are not here
>once inside they crawl on the ceiling or floor
>it was TONS more humid in my apartment when I had a roommate who loved his air fryer and making rice at the same time but now I live alone and the inside environment is mostly dry when I'm able to air out the rooms
About the bugs:
>on top: shiny dark brown exoskeleton
>six legs and two antennae that stick out front
>when killed and smooshed, they kinda crumble into pieces instead of turning into a goo or paste or whatever
>they have no particular smell either when killed
>they don't bite I don't think? I caught some in between my fingers and I don't think they ever bit me
>they were found exclusively coming from my window, hence they were only found in my bedroom ; I only found one roaming around the kitchen floor and none in the bathroom
>reminder: they came from the window which is facing the direction of the dorm's trash site

Please feel free to ask for more information coming towards a solution and I will certainly try to provide answers.
