Is it Possible to use ImageMagick to add layers to exr files and rename them with commandline optons?
If yes, could you please tell me which commands I'd have to use?

I do not believe that IM supports layered EXR. But I am not 100% sure. What do you mean by rename them with commandline optons? IM will always read and then write the file. So if you do

convert image.exr image2.exr

It will read and write the image.

For renaming without reading the image, use your OS to do the renaming, such as cp in unix.

Damn. Hopefully you are wrong
My opinion was to make a batch file which creates a multilayered exr out of two single layered exr's with a specifired name for the second layer.

IM will not create layer names in any format as far as I know. IM's use of EXR is limited to "half" format and simple images, again, as far as I know. I will, however, defer to the IM developers to correct me.
