I appreciate the time to answer me.
In the meantime (out of desperation because i needed the virtualmachine for work) I gave it a go with specifying root as user and not the servers username "server".
I was able to connect to the virtual Windows10 installation with
remote-viewer spice://root@192.168.178.51:5900
But again - then I dont unterstand why it worked as user and later on with specifying the user later on (which doesn't work right now anymore)
So it is a permissions problem on my side and I successfully wasted your time. :/
Sorry about that.
This happens when "users" try to play with the big boys toys :D
Have a nice day you all and thanks for your time.

Perhaps the URL is the problem. If the IP is 192.168.178.51 and
the port for the VM is 5900, then try
remote-viewer spice://192.168.178.51:5900
If server is a dns that can be resolved, should be fine to use it
instead of ip address
remote-viewer spice://server:5900

You can get more verbose information of issues with --spice-debug
command line option too.
