   After seeing, that a lot of people would need it and not finding any documentation or any code that works, here goes my sollution:

   $cur_user_roles = $current_user->roles;
           foreach($cur_user_roles as $cur_user_roles_value) {
               $role_to_compare = $cur_user_roles_value;
           }
   
           if($role_to_compare == 'administrator') {
               echo "Administrator ";
           } elseif($role_to_compare == 'editor') {
               echo "Editor ";
           } elseif($role_to_compare == 'author') {
               echo "Author ";
           } elseif($role_to_compare == 'contributor') {
               echo "Contributer ";
           } elseif($role_to_compare == 'subscriber') {
               echo "Subscriber ";
           } else {
               echo "<i>Att.: user got no actual role in the system</i> ";
           }

   It would even work, when a user would have got multiple roles (downgrading - highest is a match).

   BUT: I still got the problem, that this won`t work with a redirect based on the user_role. I added the following to my functions.php and it doesn´t work (the "else" case always is true):

   add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'redirect_login' );
       function redirect_login( $c ) {
       global $current_user;
       global $wpdb;
       get_currentuserinfo();
       $cur_user_roles = $current_user->roles;
           foreach($cur_user_roles as $cur_user_roles_value) {
               $role_to_compare = $cur_user_roles_value;
           }
               if($role_to_compare == 'administrator') {
                   return get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/list_aus';
               } elseif($role_to_compare == 'editor') {
                   return get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/editor';
               } elseif($role_to_compare == 'author') {
                   return get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/author';
               } elseif($role_to_compare == 'contributor') {
                   return get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/contributor';
               } elseif($role_to_compare == 'subscriber') {
                   return get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/subscriber';
               } else {
                   return get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/none';
               }
       }
   
       add_action( 'wp_logout', 'redirect_logout' );
       function redirect_logout() {
              wp_safe_redirect( get_bloginfo('url') );
              exit();
       }
