Can't connect to local MySQL Server with homebrew

Question

I have installed the MySQL-Server with homebrew before on another User on my Macbook Pro, but I must change the User and now I can't start the MySQL server:

$ mysql.server start
Starting MySQL
./usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.22/bin/mysqld_safe: line 144: 
/usr/local/var/mysql/Stefans-MacBook-Pro.local.err: Permission denied
/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.22/bin/mysqld_safe: line 144: 
/usr/local/var/mysql/Stefans-MacBook-Pro.local.err: Permission denied
/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.22/bin/mysqld_safe: line 198: 
/usr/local/var/mysql/Stefans-MacBook-Pro.local.err: Permission denied
/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.22/bin/mysqld_safe: line 144: 
/usr/local/var/mysql/Stefans-MacBook-Pro.local.err: Permission denied
ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file 
(/usr/local/var/mysql/Stefans-MacBook-Pro.local.pid).

The User "Stefan" doesn't exist anymore. Maybe the rights on /usr/local/var/mysql are not correct, but I am unsure about what I can do to fix it.

The rights are:

$ sudo ls -lah /usr/local/var/mysql/
