Greetings, Ben!

> Assume my CgyWin (on a windows 7) is currently NOT started.

This statement makes zero sense. "Cygwin" as is is a compatibility layer
(library), you can't "start" it separately from a program that uses it.

> Assume I want to call from Windows my CgyWin and pass a command to execute.

Just execute said command.

> Afterwards CygWin should automatically be closed again.

See above.

> How can I achieve this?

Just do it.
