Sorry but you created a link to the completely wrong file!
This is what the link has to look like and how it is created by the rpm
package
/usr/lib64/libGraphicsMagickWand.so -> libGraphicsMagickWand.so.2.2.0
The link is a stub as long as you do not install the package
libGraphicsMagickWand2.
Restore the link to what it originally was and install the package mentioned
above and everything should be fine.

I restored the link to libGraphicsMagick.so.2.2.0, but it still says it’s broken even though I installed what you said. (however the broken link has 26 bytes, and before it had 30 bytes)
Whatever that means!
The name of the library is different not only the version, this are two
completely different libraries
libGraphicsMagickWand != libGraphicsMagick
got it?
And how did I find the package? There is a package with exactly
libGraphicsMagickWand in its name and only one.

Well I’m sorry, but what you are saying is simply wrong. The repository names are completely different. But I had all the correct library names installed on my system without having had installed libGraphicsMagickWand2 yet. So there was no way for me to know that I needed libGraphicsMagickWand2. I only knew that something was wrong because the link was broken, and for some reason it pointed to libGraphicsMagickWand.so.2.2.0 instead of the one I had installed. I guess the guy who maintains the GraphicsMagick-devel repository forgot to add libGraphicsMagickWand2 as a dependency.
Still - thanks, I just reinstalled everything including libGraphicsMagickWand2 and now it works.

Can you show me a single word I wrote which was wrong?
PS:
I also guess the dependency should be there.

The name of the library is different not only the version, this are two
completely different libraries
libGraphicsMagickWand != libGraphicsMagick
…which was never even up for debate. Clearly I know that there are two different libraries. That wasn’t what I was confused about. I was confused about that “libGraphicsMagick.so.3” and “libGraphicsMagick.so” only differ in version numbers. Why would two different rpms install libraries with the exact same name, but only with different version number?
That’s why I asked in my first post:
What I don’t understand is, why zypper needed to install “libGraphicsMagick3”
That I was missing libGraphicsMagickWand2 is true, but my question still stands.

It was since you linked one to the other, check again what you did with your
manual link you created, so I had to guess it is (or was) not clear to you.
You cannot link libxyz.so to libabc.so and expect it works and that was what
you did.

Why do you think this are two libraries, why do you think they have
different versions?
This are both symbolic links to exactly one library
libGraphicsMagick.so.3.6.0
This is the usual way such things are handled on linux (not openSUSE but
linux in general).
In most cases you have a generic .so which is just a link to a .so.X which
in turn is a link to the exact versioned .so.X.Y.Z library.
In thsi case both directkly link directly to the same lib which is also ok.
