Hi, I'm from germany and I'm sorry for my broken english ;o) However I have an acoustic problem. I have to much bass in my Studio room. Room Size is: 350cm (L)x400cm (W)x255cm (H). behind me is the wall of glass, as like as in the photo. the glass moves with each Kick or Bass. as follows, I have measured the frequencies: I have positioned the microphone (Neumann TLM 103) in the listening position in ear height. Noise played and record. the Tack Normalized and with PAZ "waves" measured.

What have you tried so far?
absolutely nothing!!!
You should rotate your setup 90 degrees clockwise and sit centered left and right. See this:
How to set up a room
You also need bass traps. More here:

There's no real reason to measure your room because no matter what is measured, the solution is always the same - lots of bass traps. But if you want to measure anyway, you should use a small diaphragm omni condenser microphone. Here are some good ones at many different price points:

Your use of widely spaced frequencies is not useful. More here:
Using ETF
That should keep you busy for a while! :)

Thanks for the quick answer.
what should I do with the glass. The glass vibrates. Is this not a problem? or should I cover the door?
thx
Without being there to tap the glass and listen I can only guess. Yes, glass that vibrates audibly is a problem.

You would have to be very good with your hands and small tools in order to correct the glass vibration typical from this kind of divider. Call maintenance!! :)Thanks for the quick answer. what should I do with the glass. The glass vibrates. Is this not a problem? or should I cover the door? thx
