I installed BRouter on Anroid together with OsmAnd.
Ob BRouter web it is possible to show alternative routes, is this also possible on Android with OsmAnd?

Yes. 
You can either install different profiles or you can use the fastest route switch to get a different route. For the 2nd option, you need to be on your brouter profile (not browse) for it to work) 
 
If you want an alternative route on the same profile, you need to use the brouter app to force another route calculation then switch back to osmand

thanks for your anwer.
regarding your second suggestion "If you want an alternative route on the same profile, you need to use the brouter app to force another route calculation then switch back to osmand"
Is this really possbile? how? Since the BRouter Android App is very basic, i dont see any option to force another route calculation, or even see a route calculation.

Once you set the route in osmand, you can launch brouter app
Click on the repeat (profile will be the one set on osmand) 
 
After the 1st time, when you click again, you will get the alternate route
