I think you are only looking at "normal" ugo permissions here. As 
Rowland already mentioned you have the "+" sign when you list files:

drwxrwx---+   4 root root          4096  2. Mär 13:55  Folder

which indicates there are ACLs.

If you run getfacl on that folder you get:

getfacl: Entferne führende '/' von absoluten Pfadnamen
# file: srv/Folder/
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
group::r-x
group:ing:rwx
mask::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:group:ing:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::---

And you see there can be more here. Although I am not root I can still 
see those files/directories.

You should look at this thread here:

I think you have the same problem.
