Tikz: Globally set an inner separation for labels
Instead of defining the inner xsep for every node (like in b), I would like to set this globally.
documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[label above/.append style={inner xsep=50pt}]
node (a) [draw=black] [label={[draw=red]above:xyz}] {a};
node [below of=a,draw=black] [label={[inner xsep=50pt,draw=red]above:xyz}] {b};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

Do you want this for all labels or only the above ones (e.g. the red ones in your image)?

@samcarter I guess for all label would be done bylabel/.append style={inner xsep=50pt}correct? I don't want the nodesaandbto get bigger. I guess for me it wouldn't matter if labels below (not use here) are effected, but I don't think, that this will change anything

You can use theevery labelstyle...

@PaulGaborit but this would effect the labels inside nodes and thereby the node size, wouldn't it?

You may use every label. (EDIT: Uuuups, I just see Paul Gaborit's comment now. Full credit to him, if I had seen it before I wouldn't have written this answer. Sorry!)
documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[every label/.append style={inner xsep=50pt}]
node (a) [draw=black] [label={[draw=red]above:xyz}] {a};
node [below of=a,draw=black] [label={[draw=red]above:xyz}] {b};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
