yes, I forgot dsn=, when writing the mail.  The GUI was a good hint. In 
Grass the dns parameter needs to be enclosed by {}

$ v.in.ogr {dsn=C:/Dokumente und 
Einstellungen/muthers/Desktop/Rauigkeit/shapes/Example.shp} output=test

In Qgis your command works.


But the v.in.ogr command should be only an example.

I figured out, that in general there s a problem when using a grass 
workspace with whitespace in the path.
For example:
  - copy the workspace from above to C:/Dokumente und
      Einstellungen/muthers/Desktop/grass
  - open it with grass

$ v.db.addcol map=test columns='test INT'

ERROR: value <und> out of range for parameter <driver>
        Legal range: dbf,ogr,pg,sqlite

but

$ echo ' ALTER TABLE test ADD test INT' |  db.execute

works.
