Klaus,

This appears to have been reported in Debian's BTS[1] and reassigned to
python3-apt.

Are you using de_DE@euro?

Does this reproduce?
 
> $ python3
> >>> import locale
> >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "")
> 'de_DE@euro'
> >>> import apt
> >>> c = apt.Cache()
> 
> Setting LANG=de_DE@euro is not sufficient to trigger the problem, also
> make sure LANGUAGE is not set.

Mark
