E1 doesn't mean anything in the USA. There is no such thing. However, you are in Germany and in Germany, an E1 line is a digital circuit that carries the equivalent of 30 64K channels. It can be directly connected to a router through a DSU or it can be used to carry an ISDN PRI circuit. This company probably wants to use the E1 directly.
