In the first instance questions about a contributed package should be  
directed
to the maintainer(s) of that package.

It is not clear to me what your question is.  Can't get ***what***  
function
to run?  The file E5374-example.R sources ``Funktionen/K2.R'' to provide
the function K2, which is called upon later in this script.  Have you  
obtained
the file K2.R?  If not, that is your first problem.
