First: This is the bug:

In [1]: 'großhandel-shop'.encode('idna')
Out[1]: b'grosshandel-shop'

This lead to this:

'xn--einla-pqa'.decode('idna')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/encodings/idna.py", line 214, in decode
    result.append(ToUnicode(label))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/encodings/idna.py", line 139, in ToUnicode
    raise UnicodeError("IDNA does not round-trip", label, label2)
UnicodeError: ('IDNA does not round-trip', b'xn--einla-pqa', b'einlass')

xn--grohandel-shop-2fb has been correctly encoded by IDNA 2008 (which is correct in Germany/DENIC since a while). Your Python very likely tries to decode it using the old IDNA 2003, which doesn't know 'ß'. see denic.de/en/know-how/idn-domains

There is an open issue about adding IDNA 2008 support: Issue 17305. Closing this one as a duplicate of that issue.
