The Solution to this was the the PKG Archive consists of two things - an installer for a server application which I executed and an application file wich has to be copied into te application folder. 
this file was hides by the lower border of the window in which the contents of the PKG file. So I missed to copy it. After I did I have been able to find the IDE on my computer (-:

May be that the settings for the size of the icons in the finder on my computer ist the reason for my mistake.

On windows, you can just search for it - does Mac not have that??

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

It should be in /Applications/STM32CubeIDE.app

It may ask you to download the st-link server, when you run the debugger. Download that from
https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/st-link-server.html
and unzip it and run the mac installer .pkg file in there. On my machine, that installs /usr/bin/local/stlink-server

However, since updating to macOS 15.0 Sequoia, the IDE can no longer find the st-link-server.

I still don't have mine working. Good Luck!
