The accepted Answer is outdated now. But based on the answer I solved the problem by:

1. open the home page of brew https://brew.sh/
2. copy the URL from the install cmd and open it on your browser https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh
3. right-click and save it to your computer
4. open a terminal and run it with: /bin/bash path-to/install.sh
