I tested it with a polynomial as f(x), what makes no physikal sense, and it worked. Gnoplot fitted that polynomial to my data and gave me the values.

(b^2 cancels out, if I did the math right, leaving b only in the last
sinus. So your function simplifies to

f(x) = a**2 * c**2 * (1/(pi*sin(atan((x-d)/e))))**2 *
(sin((pi*b*sin(atan((x-d)/e)))/c))**2

And gnuplot expects angles in radians, not degrees. I guess from your
starting value of "d" your datafile contains abscissa values in degrees,
right?

 fit f(x) dataf us ($1/180*pi):2 via a,b,d,e
 plot f(x), dataf us ($1/180*pi):2

 )

Are the supplied parameters in the right region, i.e. is the function
already close to the data _before fitting_?

The function you give is complicated enough to never converge on your
data if the starting parameters are off. At some point most probably a
division by zero happened due to diverging parameter values.

Try predetermining the parameters using simpler functions e.g. only on a
part of the whole dataset, or by using the "stats" command:

  stats "Einzelspalt.txt" us ($1/180*pi):2
  d=STATS_pos_max_y
  # run the fit without d
  # then re-fit all variables
