Have you used Google to translate it for you?

The German syntax is a bit confusing [they don't arrange sentences like we do].
Me, I would have used National's LM3915.

Heres a good site that shows how to make a 2x15 stereo LED VU meter to put on a 5.25 Faceplate for your comp... has links for where to buy the kit and whatever else you need

thats cool..but its just a kit. i liked the kits from Bsquared better...i wanted to do it on my own without the kit.
