Thanks for that feedback, Christopher.
Unfortunately, this script does nothing at all   :-(

Here's the results, step by step (the filename is "9.12.89 BUPO.cwk" extension is hidden)
tell application "Finder"
	get selection
		--> {alias "Ablage:ROD:B Adm:4 Behörden:f) Bupo:9.12.89 BUPO.cwk"}
	join {alias "Ablage:ROD:B Adm:4 Behörden:f) Bupo:9.12.89 BUPO.cwk"} using "
"
		--> error number -10004
end tell
tell application "AppleScript Editor"
	join {alias "Ablage:ROD:B Adm:4 Behörden:f) Bupo:9.12.89 BUPO.cwk"} using "
"
		--> "Ablage:ROD:B Adm:4 Behörden:f) Bupo:9.12.89 BUPO.cwk"
end tell
tell application "Finder"
	change "^.+:" into "" in "Ablage:ROD:B Adm:4 Behörden:f) Bupo:9.12.89 BUPO.cwk" with regexp
		--> error number -10004
end tell
tell application "AppleScript Editor"
	change "^.+:" into "" in "Ablage:ROD:B Adm:4 Behörden:f) Bupo:9.12.89 BUPO.cwk" with regexp
		--> "9.12.89 BUPO.cwk"
end tell
tell application "Finder"
	change "(\\d{2})\\.(\\d{2})\\.(\\d{2})" into "\\3.\\2.\\1" in "9.12.89 BUPO.cwk" with regexp
		--> error number -10004
end tell
tell application "AppleScript Editor"
	change "(\\d{2})\\.(\\d{2})\\.(\\d{2})" into "\\3.\\2.\\1" in "9.12.89 BUPO.cwk" with regexp
		--> "9.12.89 BUPO.cwk"
end tell
tell application "Finder"
	splittext "9.12.89 BUPO.cwk" using "
"
		--> error number -10004
end tell
tell application "AppleScript Editor"
	splittext "9.12.89 BUPO.cwk" using "
"
		--> {"9.12.89 BUPO.cwk"}
end tell
tell application "Finder"
	set name of alias "Ablage:ROD:B Adm:4 Behörden:f) Bupo:9.12.89 BUPO.cwk" to "9.12.89 BUPO.cwk"
		--> "9.12.89 BUPO.cwk"
end tell
Ergebnis:
"9.12.89 BUPO.cwk"
