I'd like to develop a workflow for the following issue: There is a map in DXF format which consists of multiple (924) layers. All together they show a complex city map. Using the Import/Export function works fine for me. Is there a workflow to import the DXF files and build a single vector layer containing all the DXF layers. A shapefile would be fine for me.

Install the AnotherDXFImporter plug-in for Qgis (https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/AnotherDXF2Shape/). This plug-in let you import DXF file and save it as shapefile.
You may drag & drop dxf
files into QGIS directly. Upon import you may in/exclude single layers of the dxf
, but you can also choose to import all. Then you can use the tool merge vector layers
and export everything as a single shapefile/geopackage. When done in an otherwise empty QGIS project, this procedure is rather fast, since you may choose all files during both import and export.
