Source of data:

This is created from the data published by the Robert Koch Institut on its website and archived versions thereof.

Quality of data:

This data has been manually retyped, so there might be errors.

Also, the Robert Koch Institut announced that it changes how it collects its data on 2020-05-17. Subsequently, that day might see a drop in some numbers that does not actually correspond to a actual real world change in cases.
