I have tried to create a headless connection to my (new) Raspberry Pi, since I do not have a HDMI cable at home. However- after trying everthing I have found as suggestions on Google etc.- I just cannot find a solution to my problem.

My Raspberry is on my local network and ssh is activated, which I can see from: 

nmap 192.168.x.x
Nmap scan report for 192.168.x.x
Host is up (0.00018s latency).
Not shown: 999 closed ports
PORT   STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open  ssh

when I type ssh pi@192.168.x.x, and then type raspberry as password, it says: Permission denied, please try again.

When I type: sudo service ssh status, I get:

Dez 27 21:19:24 fritz-HP-Pavilion-17-Notebook-PC sshd[16244]: Failed password for invalid user pi from 192.168.x.x port 45468 ssh2

Dez 27 21:19:42 fitz-HP-Pavilion-17-Notebook-PC sshd[16244]: Connection closed by 192.168.x.x port 45468 [preauth]

PS.: I use Ubuntu 16.04. and on the Raspberry Pi 3, the operating system is Raspbian

Since it seems that you are using Ubuntu on your host PC, you can inspect the etc/passwd file on the SD card to find out what your username is on the Pi.

cat /media/ubuntu_user/sd_card_partition_2/etc/passwd

You can also check if the default password is what is expected or change the default password by modifying the etc/shadow file on the SD card. The instructions for adding a new user included in the link @Ghanima posted in his comment should work as well.

Update

From your comment, it seems you are trying to install Noobs without a display, perhaps these instructions will work for you. They are a little on the old side, but perhaps they will still work.

My advice would be to download the official Raspbian image which is a lot easier to work with on initial install without a keyboard and monitor.

Per updated question: This is the likely solution SSH not working with fresh install

Assuming Ubuntu LTS 16.04 running on the Pi:

The default login username is "ubuntu", password is "ubuntu" for Ubuntu LTS 16.04 (Source).

This is the clue that there is no user pi:

Failed password for invalid user pi from 192.168.x.x

So this is your command to go with: 

ssh ubuntu@192.168.x.x
