OK, one thing I missed initially.
● display-manager.service - X Display Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/display-manager.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: activating (start) since Wed 2017-05-10 14:59:45 CEST; 1min 5s ago
Note that it says "activating", not "activ" (it is misleading, "Active" != "active". Oh well ...) If for some reasons activation fails, stopping it may have observed effect. Could you please wait for more than 90 seconds (it says "1min 5s ago" here) and check "systemctl -l status display-manager.service" until it changes state to something else. Please post full output. Also after it happened please check content of /var/run/displaymanager.pid and show PID number as well. And "ls -l /var/run/displaymanager.pid".
