Is there a way to make a crontab for generating an E-Mail every 6 months?

Thanks

Sure, this will do it on the 1st of January and July:

0 0 1 */6 *

I find this website useful for testing cron values: http://crontab.guru

There are several ways you could define the cron schedule, depending on your actual use case. This answer may give you some other ideas how you could define the schedule.

The crontab values from the crontab.guru are not identically to the splunk Syntax, I guess

0 9 1 1/6 * works with crontab.gutu but not in splunk
0 9 1 */6 * works with crontab.gutu and in splunk

Thanks for your Support.
