Markus and Marco-

You have misunderstood the question.

Question Intended: Why are they different?
Incorrectly Interpreted: There are lots of options for "ls" and "date".

I have everything in 24-hour format, yet my LC_TIME and LANG are the same as Konrad.

Furthermore, I'd say that the default output of "date" should look like the 
Linux one, which is the way it has looked on UNIX for about 40 years:

Linux: Wed Aug 31 08:56:10 EDT 2016
Cygwin: Wed, Aug 31, 2016 08:54:49

In other words, on Cygwin: get rid of the commas, put back the timezone.
