Whenever I've seen this, it's been because some symlink is referring
(possibly indirectly) to itself.  So
  find ~/Ablage -type l
could be used to find all symlinks, and
  find -L ~/Ablage -type l
should find all and only broken symlinks.  Also,
  ls --color ~/Ablage
might display broken links in red but OK links in green.
