There is another (well four …) metric for German text, the "Wiener Sachtextformel"

Translation for the formula:

MS percentage of words with three or more syllables
SL average words in a sentence
IW percentage of words with six or more letters
ES percentage of words with one syllable

There are also other metrics for English that can be found in a NLTK based implementation on github.
