You can locate radio button using By.xpath with their label text as below :-

To click radio button with the label text Frau :

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[../following-sibling::label[contains(.,'Frau')]]")).click();

To click radio button with the label text Herr :

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[../following-sibling::label[contains(.,'Herr')]]")).click();

Edited :- If you are getting exception that click would receive by other element, need to implement WebDriverWait to wait until element visible on DOM as below :-

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
el = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//input[../following-sibling::label[contains(.,'Herr')]]")));
el.click();

If you are still facing same issue then try to click using JavascriptExecutor as below :-

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click()", el);

@Toffa I think you need to implement WebDriverWait to wait until element present on the dom..:)

To click the radio button with the label "Frau":

WebElement m = driver.findElement(By.xpath(
    "//input[@id=//label[normalize-space(.)='Frau']/@for]"));

m.click();

Or:

WebElement m = driver.findElement(By.xpath(
    "id(//label[normalize-space(.)='Frau']/@for)"));

m.click();

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[text()='the label text']").click();

by this way, you can find out the name of the label and click on the particular radio button by this.

        WebElement webElement=driver.findElement(By.xpath(element));
        JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

        js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();",webElement);
