Lonicera caprifolium, the Italian woodbine,[2] perfoliate honeysuckle,[3] goat-leaf honeysuckle, Italian honeysuckle, or perfoliate woodbine, is a species of perennial flowering plants in the genus Lonicera of the Caprifoliaceae family. It is native to parts of Europe, and naturalised in South East Britain and northeastern North America.[4] It can readily be distinguished from Europe’s most common species, Lonicera periclymenum, by its topmost leaves which are perfoliate as the Latin name suggests (that is, the stem appears to grow through the centre of the leaf). It is a vigorous, deciduous climber growing up to 8 metres. It bears masses of very fragrant, cream-coloured flowers, tinged with pink, appearing in midsummer.[5][6]

german name:  jelängerjelieber from my garden in Ritterhude
I don’t think it is Lonicera periclymenum, the leaves are round.
I like shakespeare:
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”

This is your Lonicera caprifolium

English: Italian woodbine, perfoliate honeysuckle 
This particular leaf shape is known as perfoliate: surrounding the stem all around.
