The problem is this trailing backslash in the directory name.

D:\temp\Neuer Ordner\cygwinpkg>setup_script.bat

D:\temp\Neuer Ordner\cygwinpkg>set WD=D:\temp\Neuer Ordner\cygwinpkg\

D:\temp\Neuer Ordner\cygwinpkg>echo "D:\temp\Neuer Ordner\cygwinpkg\"
"D:\temp\Neuer Ordner\cygwinpkg\"

D:\temp\Neuer Ordner\cygwinpkg>"setup-x86_64.exe" --root
"D:\temp\Neuer Ordner\cygwinpkg\" --local-package-dir "D:\temp\Neuer
Ordner\cygwinpkg\"


Try adding a dot:

set WD=%~dp0
echo "%WD%."
"setup-x86_64.exe" --root "%WD%." --local-package-dir "%WD%."
pause

You'll get a warning from Setup:  it is strongly recommended, to use a
root path without spaces.

I don't know, never tried, I always used C:\cygwin as root.
