I just installed php and apache2 server from this tutorial

https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-latest-php-on-debian/

but I cannot run php-scripts - the server seems to be down since localhost in url wont work

According to the php.ini file engine is ON

 engine = On

Right now I cannot find which port the server is listening on in the ini-file but I guess its 80?

If write apache2 in the terminal it responds

apache2: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: No such file or directory

the path is not the same, on my system the pat is

/etc/apache2/mods-available/

and there are two files:

php7.4.conf
php7.4.load

So - how could I start the server or at the least get a grasp of whats wrong?

Question is did you run those two commands or not?

sudo systemctl disable --now apache2
sudo apt-get install nginx php7.4-fpm

First command disables apache2. The second one installs nginx and php-fpm version 7.4 However the tutorial does not describe how to use virtual hosts, how to enable and disable service etc.

I recommend to use this tutorial: Install PHP 7.4 on Debian 10

Besides also additionally recommend to read and learn from my website: Web server installation on mikr.us using MariaDB and MyISAM engine

You will learn how to install and configure Apache , Virtual Host and maybe other things will be also interesting for you. It is a really full guide step by step for beginners. Enjoy. If you will have any questions do not hesitate to ask me.
