Andreas,

Since you want the result as an Expr, set the ResultFormat property to 
ensure that:

     mathKernel.ResultFormat = MathKernel.ResultFormatType.Expr;

     mathKernel.Compute("puffer1 = ReadList[\"v3504b.txt\",{Number,Number}]");

     mathErgebnis = (Expr) mathKernel.Result;

To get the Expr's value as a native C# array, use the AsArray() method:

     double[,] ar = mathErgebnis.AsArray(ExpressionType.Real, 2);

You say you want a double[][] instead of a double[,]. If you really want 
the "array of arrays" format you will have to manually allocate a 
double[][] of the correct size and fill it from the elements in ar. It is 
generally more convenient to work with multidimensional arrays (double[,]) 
than arrays-of-arrays (double[][]) in C#.
