I haven't seen this idea and you've wrote nothing about the ^M:

The ^M means that there is a "\015" / \r at the end of the output. Where 
does this char come from? In "normal" output, this char is almost 
invisible, esp. at the end of a line. I don't know how Dovecot handles 
this char internally.

The char should show up in the JSON formatted list, Aki suggested, too:

doveadm -fjson mailbox list -u user INBOX/*

But I haven't seen the output in your replies.

Can you verify in the filesystem, if the char is there, too? E.g.
ls -1 | cat -v

Maybe

doveadm mailbox delete  -u <username> 'INBOX/Fachbereiche '"\015" Would 
help?
