The title is German and, literally translated, it means “Pea Counter” (describing a person that is overly precise). We wish you happy solving!
Rules:
Sudoku: Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
Split Peas: The sum of the digits on a line strictly between two circles is equal to a concatenation of the two values in the circles, in some order. For instance, 3_346_1 could be a valid split pea line, as 3+4+6=13, which is 1 concatenated with 3.
Counting Circles: A circled digit indicates exactly how many circles contain that digit. Note: This also includes all circles which are bounding the split pea lines. If, for example, a 3 appears in a circle, then there must be exactly 3 circles that contain a 3.

Very nice and very approachable! (Two stars at most, I think.) Split peas turn out to be a fine vegetable for the Sudoku community. Thank you very much for creating and sharing this snack.

Amazing puzzle! What a coincidence to publish a puzzle with almost identical ruleset as mine..Though this puzzle had a different break-in from my puzzle. Thanks for the puzzle!
