I installed bitcoind on my ubuntu-Server with "apt-get install bitcoind". When I enter "bitcoind help" I get this answer: "error: couldn't connect to server".

Most probably you are looking for something like [the API calls list](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list) or [Running Bitcoin](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin). Another option (suggested by username_3 username_3) is to use `bitcoind help` command.
