Gestern hat ein Haufen dieser kleinen Fliegen auf dem Fensterrahmen und weggewischt. Danach sah es gut aus, aber jetzt scheint es, als hätten sie sich verdoppelt.
Was sind diese und wie sie sie loswerden?
Als Referenz gibt es keine Pflanzen im Raum, und diese kleinen Dinge scheinen den alten Holzfensterrahmen zu lieben
Jede Hilfe geschätzt, danke!

Maybe try to build a (in Germany we call it this) fruchtfliegenfallen (fly trap) I would google it
You need to find the place where they are laying their eggs – probably a forgotten piece of fruit under a kitchen counter or a bin you didn’t empty for a while. Then the numbers will be more manageable. Tip: vacuum cleaner. They jump downwards so if they are on the ceiling you just approach slowly from below and they jump into the hose.
Looks like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sciaridae
They lay their eggs in soil, so check all your plants you have in your apartment. If you blow into the plants pots, they will start flying around. Best way to get rid of them is this: https://shop.oere-bio-protect.de/products/nemabest-sf-nematoden-3-mio-gegen-trauermucken?srsltid=AfmBOopzMqRu4-8awcvg3_j2Tm_BH9dbcgYesVV3srY78KoDxUCe682m
Edit: I just read that you don’t have plants. Then check the surroundings, if there is any soil that could be the breeding ground for them
Don’t leave any food, fruits, drinks etc. out for them to feast on. They reproduce extremely fast and will become a plague.
To fight them, just buy the traps from the supermarkets as they seem to work better than the home made solution.
Mayb buy something to spray most of them and then kill the rest with the traps.
Good luck
They do look like ‚Trauermücken“. Normally, they like in the soil of plants living off their roots. You say there are no plants, though. I have also seen them living in a toilet tank and somewhere around the kitchen sink. They seem to be always looking for water. Maybe the window frame offers a bit of moisture from outside? But no idea where they could be nesting in your place without any plants.
Those aren’t Fruchtfliegen, those are Trauermücken. They lay eggs in soil (of plants). You’ll need nematodes to remove them from the soil.
Put some baking soda on the window frame
UPDATE:
Thank you all guys! I think they were fungus gnats, as I did have an unopened (!) bag of planting soil in the room, and that seems to be where they were crawling out of. Thanks for the help, lesson learned!
Damn…
You must have a dead body in your house OP.
