I want read out the label of a hard disc partition from command line.
Unfortunately the command "label" forces the user to enter a new one.
So asking is NOT independent from changing it.

is there another way to retrieve the label name without having to answer something
or to have text aroung it like "Label of the specified drive D: is WinBACKP"

Try using the fsutil command. In this case:

fsutil fsinfo volumeinfo c:\

You must supply the pathname of the drive, not the drive letter.
Try also typing fsutil and check out all the other options. Each sub-menu
has a menu of options.
 
Try going to a command prompt (Start, All Programs, Accessories, Command
Prompt)
type "label" without the quotes of course.
