python3 urllib cant download url when umlauts "ä,ö,ü"

I have written a Python3 script which downloads a URL. However, it does not work if there is an "umlaut" in the URL (in this case "ü"). The URL does not work if I write "ue". How can I change to UTF 8?

import urllib.request

url = "https://www.corona-in-zahlen.de/landkreise/sk%20würzburg/"
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, "webpage.txt")

Your example works if you replace the ü with a regular u:

import urllib.request

url = "https://www.corona-in-zahlen.de/landkreise/sk%20wurzburg/"
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, "webpage.txt")
