Help identifying this spider (Austria)

Found this big chonker in the garden, about 4-5cm big, never seen anything like it here before. Any ideas what it could be? : ) Thanks in advance!

Judging by all those babies on her back, that's probably a wolf spider just trying to make it as a single mom. They are harmless in case you didn't know.
- awesome! Just found that the Zoropsis spinimana seem to have increased in numbers a lot here recently, and as I understand it they are some type of wolf spiders? So I think it might be one of those. Really cool to know, thanks!
