Has anyone an Idea where can I find a tool to record speech via microphone and OpenOffice will write it into text ?
Word has it built in, but I can not find this feature anywhere inside OpenOffice ?!

Because there is not such feature neither in the Apache OpenOffice nor in LibreOffice.
If your operating system has such feature, then you can import the result textual file into your AOO/LO documents

Search the Writer forum with
dragon for lots of posts about speech to text.
A simple workaround is to use your phone or tablet to go speech to text and import the resulting text.
Another is to dictate into a Microsoft program (like MS WordPad, MS Works Word Processor, or even MS Notepad - all are supplied free with Windows) to get the text, and copy the text to AOO for final editing. There are probably similar solutions on MacOS and Linux.

You can always just use a different speech to text tool and copy/paste the results back into OpenOffice. This is what I do. That way you can find a speech-to-text tool that works for you. I looked at
https://Otter.com/ which was pretty good but switched to
https://Hyperia.net because it gives both a speaker-labeled transcript and a summary which i ended up using more than the transcript for some purposes
