I can straight connect the weather station to my Raspbery without any need of a base station or console right?

SO I would use a RJ11 to USB Adapter from the white solarbox, correct? davis-instruments-vantage-pro2-dav-6152eu-funk-wetterstation

No you need the console and the weatherlink data logger that plugs into the console. That datalogger has a USB connector that you connect to the Raspberry Pi.

I dont understand why the console is needed..

The data logger connects to the console. https://www.davisinstruments.com/products/weatherlink-windows-usb and stores data at a regular interval. The Raspberry Pi connects to the data logger and downloads data collected since last download.

The white box on the weather station is just a box of sensors. You need the console to translate sensor data into sensible values. In a completely different project, you could try to connect to the white box and figure out sensor values.
