The EPINetz Twitter Politicians Dataset is a comprehensive dataset of 2,449 Twitter accounts of German parliamentarians, ministers, state secretaries, parties and ministries on a state, federal and EU level for the year 2021. This hand-curated dataset not only provides up-to-date information on elected officials, it also supplements additional variables such as their party affiliation, age or gender. Furthermore, it provides linkages to additional data sources by providing the accounts' Wikidata and Abgeordnetenwatch (Parliamentwatch) IDs. While it does not provide actual tweet data, the data set enables easy access to elected German politicians on Twitter. This research was funded by the Klaus Tschira Foundation (https://www.klaus-tschira-stiftung.de/) as part of the EPINetz Project (https://epinetz.de/).
