The coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread through Germany between 2020 and 2024. As of April 2024, there were over 38.8 million cases recorded in the country. . Click here for more statistical data and facts on the coronavirus.

This dataset contains data regarding COVID-19 cases in Germany by Landkreise (district). It was originally published by the Robert Koch-Institut (RKI).For each Landkreis, data is available about: number of cases (cumulative), number of cases per 100 000 persons (cumulative or only the last seven days), percentage of cases (cumulative number of cases among the Landkreis population), number of deaths (cumulative) and death rate (percentage of deaths among the cases).The dataset also contains various geo-administrative information, such as populations, geographical shapes and administrative codes.Enrichment:Dates given in German format have been converted to ISO datetime.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic in Germany began in March 2020, with high new daily case numbers still being recorded during 2023. The pandemic is ongoing.

Staying home

The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation on March 11, 2020. This declaration immediately impacted life in Germany on all levels. Rising coronavirus (COVID-19) case numbers in March-April led to the swift implementation of nationwide distancing and crowd control measures to stop further spread of the virus, which primarily transferred most easily from person to person. From a large-scale economic shutdown, venue, school, daycare and university closures, to social distancing and the contact ban officially implemented by the German government, seemingly in the space of days life as the population knew it came to a standstill in the whole country.

Unlockdown

Later in April 2020, Germany began easing some of the restrictions related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak as case numbers began to drop. Elements of uncertainty remain and touch on various aspects, for example, regarding national mental and physical health, both among adults and children, the possibility of long-term effects from the virus, immunity. A rising worry among European nations was economic recovery.

Germany recorded 38418899 Coronavirus Cases since the epidemic began, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition, Germany reported 173834 Coronavirus Deaths. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for Germany Coronavirus Cases.

In 2023, the coronavirus (COVID-19) is still present in Germany, affecting all of its federal states. Case numbers vary across age groups and genders. Based on current figures, among men, the most affected age group was 35-59 years. The same was true for women. These figures confirm that the virus can also affect younger age groups.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected Germany across states and demographics. Based on current figures regarding confirmed cases, 51 percent of women and 49 percent of men have been infected with the virus. Even more statistical information and facts on the coronavirus pandemic are available here.

Case data from 02-29-2020 to 08-16-2020, this data repository stores COVID-19 virus case data for Germany, including the daily case, summary data, and base map. Each zip file contains weekly case data from Monday to Sunday.

In the data set '7-day incidence of COVID-19 in Germany', the current 7-day incidences of COVID-19 cases transmitted to the RKI in accordance with the provisions of the Infection Protection Act - IfSG - are published. The data basis for the calculation of the 7-day incidences are the COVID-19 cases submitted to the RKI. Detailed documentation on the collection of infection data is included in the data set 'SARS-CoV-2-Infections in Germany'. The RKI obtains the population data necessary for the calculation of the 7-day incidence from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), Unit F24 Population update, statistics on foreigners and integration.

Official COVID19 data for Germany publicized by Robert Koch Institute Offizieller Datensatz des Rober-Koch-Instituts zu COVID19-Fällen in Deutschland

I'm just linking the official upload location to Kaggle.

There already is a COVID19 dashboard with a map for Germany, based on that data: https://npgeo-corona-npgeo-de.hub.arcgis.com/ But there certainly are more statistical questions to be answered.

I also started gathering and adding some additional data (not by RKI).

As for the columns labels in two of the three sets: they are very confusing and they are not even explained on the official upload website. Fortunately @sebastianhelm put some work into researching them: https://www.kaggle.com/mreverybody/covid19-data-germany-robert-koch-institute/discussion/142140#808487

Inspiration

There are only few official and neutral sources concerning COVID19 cases in Germany, but many false claims and panic going around in the public. Although the RKI data is publically available it is not propagated well and it is a bit hard to come across.

In past 24 hours, Germany, Europe had 73 new cases, 16 deaths and N/A recoveries.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread through Germany in 2020, with the epidemic still present in 2022. Based on the most recent figures, as of March 2022, Cologne had recorded the highest number of COVID-19 cases for its 7-day incidence rate, followed by Munich as far as cities were concerned.

As of November 24, 2024 there were over 274 million confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) across the whole of Europe since the first confirmed cases in France in January 2020. France has been the worst affected country in Europe with 39,028,437 confirmed cases, followed by Germany with 38,437,756 cases. Italy and the UK have approximately 26.8 million and 25 million cases respectively. For further information about the coronavirus pandemic, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.

Project Tycho datasets contain case counts for reported disease conditions for countries around the world. The Project Tycho data curation team extracts these case counts from various reputable sources, typically from national or international health authorities, such as the US Centers for Disease Control or the World Health Organization. These original data sources include both open- and restricted-access sources. For restricted-access sources, the Project Tycho team has obtained permission for redistribution from data contributors. All datasets contain case count data that are identical to counts published in the original source and no counts have been modified in any way by the Project Tycho team, except for aggregation of individual case count data into daily counts when that was the best data available for a disease and location. The Project Tycho team has pre-processed datasets by adding new variables, such as standard disease and location identifiers, that improve data interpretability. We also formatted the data into a standard data format. All geographic locations at the country and admin1 level have been represented at the same geographic level as in the data source, provided an ISO code or codes could be identified, unless the data source specifies that the location is listed at an inaccurate geographical level. For more information about decisions made by the curation team, recommended data processing steps, and the data sources used, please see the README that is included in the dataset download ZIP file.

COVID-19 case numbers for Germany.

It contains the forecasts of cumulative and incident COVID-19 deaths and cases in Germany and Poland in a standardized format. For death forecasts, the main focus is on 1 through 30 day and 1 through 4 week ahead forecasts of incident and cumulative deaths by reporting date in Germany and Poland (national level), the German states (Bundesländer) and Polish voivodeships. For forecasts on cases, they collect 1 through 4 week ahead and 1 through 30 day forecasts of incident and cumulative confirmed cases by reporting date in Germany and Poland (national level), German states (Bundesländer) and Polish voivodeships. Files are available in csv format.

The data set 'COVID-19 hospitalisations' provides the current numbers of hospitalised COVID-19 cases recorded in accordance with the provisions of the Infection Protection Act - IfSG.In order to better assess the trend in the number of hospitalisations and the 7-day hospitalisation incidence, the reported hospitalisation incidence is supplemented by an estimate of the expected number of delayed hospitalisations. In addition to the data on reported COVID-19 hospitalisations at federal and state level, a nowcasting of the number of hospitalised cases and the 7-day hospitalisation incidence at federal level is therefore carried out. The aim is to estimate the number of hospitalised COVID-19 cases with a reporting date within the seven previous days - including hospitalisations not yet reported to the RKI. Based on the nowcasting, an estimate of the adjusted 7-day hospitalization incidence is carried out.

Feature service with the current Covid-19 infections per 100,000 inhabitants on the German federal states. The service is updated daily with the current case numbers of the Robert Koch Institute.

The emergence of mutations in the spread of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a natural process. Mutations can develop during the process of copying the genetic make-up, when a cell splits. The more copies of a cell are made, the higher the likelihood that mutations will come into existence. Most recently, B.1.1.529 (Omicron) has been found in 99.8 percent of the new confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Germany.
