It works, thank you :-)

This is the first time that I understand what you are talking about. I had 
problems because I don't understand your englisch, but now I got it. For every 
Gromacs Option I have to give a file for it and what file type this is I got 
out of help. 

Thanks for being such patient with me.

Greetings
Lara

Again, as has been stated several times, giving any Gromacs program a command 
line option (like -s or -f) in the absence of an explicit file name, will cause 
the program to look for a default file name (which are listed in the manual or 
with -h).  In the first case, with no file name given to -s, trjconv looks for 
topol.tpr and fails.  In the second case, -f is looking for traj.xtc and 
fails.  Provide explicit file names for all options, unless you actually have 
used the default names (which in your case, you haven't).

Please go back to my previous advice: "Supply your .pdb file to the -s flag." 
That doesn't mean add -s to the command line and expect magic to happen ;)  It 
means you need to invoke the -s flag to signal that you are providing a file 
there, and then name that file.  For pedantic purposes:

trjconv -n index.ndx -f molecule.pdb -s molecule.pdb -o output.pdb

The -f flag specifies the file that is being operated on.
The -s flag specifies a file from which (in this case) atom and residue names 
are being read.  It is necessary because your output format (.pdb) requires 
this information.
