My apartment has terrible lighting due to small windows and an overhang roof. I really want to grow some herbs inside over the winter. Are there any herbs or spices that would work well with low light?
Rosmarin, Basilikum, Thymian, Melisse, Kapuzinerkresse, Oregano und Kerbel
Rosemary, basil, thyme, lemon balm, nasturtium, oregano and chervil or Parsley, dill, chives, lovage, mint, lemon balm, watercress and chervil
With what you describe I would say give Basil a shot, it is cheap to reproduce and you can see if it works. Rosemary, parsley and Thyme I would say won't work well. Mint in my experience also wants more light, so nasturtium (will not be very productive, but might remain pretty), dill, chives, lovage, watercress would be my addition suggestions in addition to Basil.
If you can afford a kitchen hydroponic appliance you might find it worth the price. My basil plants always exploded in size, ended up getting more basil and pesto than I knew what to do with.

The only herb I've ever been able to get to grow in an indoor window box was this one cilantro plant that just would not fucking die ever.
And then one day my cat ate it down to the dirt level.
Typical herbs that are recommended are:
Rosmarin, Basilikum, Thymian, Melisse, Kapuzinerkresse, Oregano und Kerbel
Rosemary, basil, thyme, lemon balm, nasturtium, oregano and chervil or Parsley, dill, chives, lovage, mint, lemon balm, watercress and chervil

Thanks! Those seem like good ideas, I already cook stuff with basil and chives a lot.

No, but you can set up a T5 grow light pretty cheaply

This would be 30 Euro to buy and (depending on price of electricity 10-30cent per kwh) and 50-180 Euro annually.
