I would like to execute a .blend file via terminal in a directory where only one .blend file is located. I would like to start this file without knowing the exact file name.

If I knew the filename I would do it like this:

blender --background example.blend --render-output //filename --render-frame 1

If it’s the only file in the directory (or even the only .blend file), all you have to do is run your command with a wildcard (a.k.a. glob, a.k.a. pathname expansion):

blender --background *.blend --render-output //filename --render-frame 1
