I did fix the issue, however I did a lot and I am not sure what in the end fixed the problem. A couple of observations:

- I did use a database created a couple of years ago on a windows machine.
- In php the were a couple of passwords related to that DB, which did not comply with the actual default mysql pw-requirements, that did cause me trouble. I now know that you can change those requirements. The actual requirements can be made visible via
>mysql use mysql
>mysql SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'validate_password%';
And can be changed using e.g.
>mysql SET GLOBAL validate_password.special_char_count = 0;
-At the end I did change the passwords to something compliant with the actual default, and modified the settings back to the defaults
- I have a strong feeling, that user management and certainly the root user management via the workbench gui is not ... not 100%
- I had to change user settings via the command line of the DB-computer to make things work, changing via the workbench gui, did not do the job!
- After fixing the connection, the DB was accessible. However some tables and especially views were not!
- A very obvious, but unexpected reason for that was that the view definer ..... was not known on the new db-machine. To fix that, I had to edit all views changing the definer to a user know on the new machine
- and yet there were some sql statements which did need little tuning, since the syntax checker is more 'precise' then the one couple of versions back,
