instead of Str::slug($entry['name']) you can also use the built-in sluggify helper function e.g $app->helper('utils')->sluggify($entry['name'])

also instead of count($app->module('collections')->find(...))
you can also use $app->module('collections')->count('aktuelles', ['slug' => $slug])

Changes with @aheinze suggestions:

(Just change the "XXX" occurrences with your collection name and "YYY" occurrences with the entry you want your slug to be based on)

<?php

// this is in the `/config` folder

// collection: XXX
// slug is created bt reading this field: YYY

$app->on("collections.save.before.XXX", function($YYY, &$entry, $isUpdate) use ($app) {

    // generate slug on create only or when an existing one is empty
    if (!$isUpdate || ($isUpdate && trim($entry['slug']) == '')) {
        // generate slug based on defined entry
        $slug = $app->helper('utils')->sluggify($entry['YYY']);

        // count existing entires in collection with given $slug
        $entries = $app->module('collections')->count('XXX', ['slug' => $slug]);

        // if slug is existing already, postfix with incremental count
        if ($entries > 0) {
            $slug = "{$slug}-{$entries}";
        }
        $entry['slug'] = $slug;
    }
});
