I just realised, that I used just a basic configuration (from the
migration); I just added and started with the big conf.d and added my
setting.

There is still the same problem/error in the log, but with some more text:

E.g. the rechnungseingang-finanzbuchhaltung looks like:

See that next Info line:

!!!!
Home directory not set for user. Can't expand ~/ for mail root dir
in: ~/
!!!!

In contrast to rechnungseingang-finanzbuchhaltung your userdb does not 
return no home dir for rechnungseingang-animationsinstitut, therefore your 
mail_location ~/ expands to the root directory "/".

You have to correct your userdb. Maybe you need to clean the cache:

doveadm auth cache flush
