Ich decided to move the .ssh directory to /home/username/.ssh and edited nsswitch.conf to specify the home directory with "db_home: /home/%U" (all entries in this file were commented). Now sshd seems to work without deactivating strict mode. If I should still get problems with something else missing the .ssh directory in the WIndows Users directory I will try the bind mount.

I do not know how the .ssh got in /cygdrive/c/Users/... because I did not change anything manually.

Thanks for all the help!
