I would translate the above as follows...

Dear Mr. Arlt,

Tonight (23.6.04) my colleague Erich Mueller and I observed from the 
southern outskirts of Darmstadt between 1:30 and 2:30 MESZ [ed. note, 
apparently MESZ would mean Middle Europe Summer Time] in the direction of 
the Bootid radiant. Sky conditions [LM] were approximately 2.8 to 3.8 with 
a maximum of +4.8 magnitude. During this time several fast to medium fast 
sporadic meteors appeared with magnitudes between +2 and +4. Slow objects 
from the direction of the radiant were not observed. Towards 2:30 MESZ the 
sky closed in solidly from the west.

Greetings from Darmstadt
