<p>You can get any field with <a href="http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/templating/craft.fields">craft.fields</a>, which returns a FieldModel:</p>

<pre><code>{% set field = craft.fields.getFieldbyHandle('field_handle') %}
{{ field.name }}
{{ field.instructions }}
</code></pre>

<p>.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> There is no documentation on the FieldModel yet, but if you want to know more, take a look at <code>craft/app/models/FieldModel.php</code>.</p>

<p>This is a list of all attributes supported by the Model:</p>

<li>required</li>

I ended up finding this in the docs http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/templating/craft.fields With some tinkering I also found out that {{craft.fields.getFieldbyHandle('field_handle') }} will work.

<p>I've created a plain text-field and added this field into a section.
I then created an entry and filled it with content.</p>

<p>I know I can output the content of the field in my template with <code>{{ entry.field_handle }}</code>, but is it also possible to display the field name? If so, how?</p>

I've created a plain text-field and added this field into a section.
I then created an entry and filled it with content.

I know I can output the content of the field in my template with `{{ entry.field_handle }}`, but is it also possible to display the field name? If so, how?

You can get any field with craft.fields, which returns a FieldModel:
{% set field = craft.fields.getFieldbyHandle('field_handle') %}
{{ field.name }}
{{ field.instructions }}

.
Note: There is no documentation on the FieldModel yet, but if you want to know more, take a look at craft/app/models/FieldModel.php.
This is a list of all attributes supported by the Model:
