Hello,
so I got a 1L borosilikat erlenmeyer flask for dirt cheap, unfortunately it dont came with a lid. Can I still use it, how? Im to paranoid to use a wine bottle, or is it safe?

Hello and welcome. You could always buy a silicone (Silikon) rubber bung if it concerns you. Otherwise just ensure that you proceed with whatever purpose without inverting the flask. Wine bottles will be at risk of breakage if subjected to heating, whereas borosilicate flasks are more resistant both to thermal shock and caustic alkalies. The latter can still cause damage over prolonged periods, however. Without a bung, your flask will be a case of "stirred, not shaken"  “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

I had what the seller claimed was a silicon bung and it seemed to be interacting with the high ph soup. After a bit of searching I managed to find cork bungs and they seem better. I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

Since you won't be able to stir without some kind of cap, bung, or other covering, you'll likely want a wider mouth so that you can a more agitating stir process. Though if you plan to mix by just swirling the flask, the narrow neck will probably be more suitable in preventing spillage from the top.
