Of course I could easily restore my backup. But I wonder what mechanism is responsible for this behaviour. Cheers
mkdir ~/Schreibtisch
oder even
mkdir ~/Desktop
(each followed logout/login)
did not resolve the problem.

Recreate the desktop directory, sign out, sign back in – Feb 26 '21 at 23:15

Your ~/Desktop was followed by an i-node, which can't be found after deletion. Recreating a new directory with the same name, but with a new system-appointed i-node will not point your system files to it. Restoring your backup directories won't fix it either. Try to :
a. add a new user
b. copy your local folders into the new users home directory
c. remove your first user account
Good luck :)
