I found a solution to make it work again:
I created the folder $HOME/Templates (I deleted this empty folder some time ago when cleaning up my home directory, not expecting this could cause havoc...!?!?!). In the $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs file I modified the Templates setting from $HOME to $HOME/Templates; and I ran xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update. I logged out of Xfce and logged in again. Then everything is OK again. However, the problem in Thunar is still there: If I accidentally remove the $HOME/Templates directory, and the Templates pointer instead points to another (huge?) directory, e.g. $HOME, then Thunar is capable of completely freeze my entire system. How is that possible? This is the worst thing a file manager can do ;).
