The GENESIS Python project aims to improve and standardize the accessibility of the databases of the federal and state statistical offices. For this purpose, a Python library was developed that allows access to the various databases with a uniform interface and provides the information relevant to the user in a way that is optimal for further data processing, analysis and visualization. All supported portals (Destatis, regional statistics, census) provide access to the same database: the GENESIS online database of the Federal Statistical Office, which contains a large number of tables.
