I tested the solutions given in the answers of Wojciech Gac, of Mittenchops and James Anderson.

While solution of James Anderson's solution is by far the easiest, it comes with a few problems: First, you have to reactivate the environment in each shell process you spawn in emacs. There is also the possibility that emacs has a different pythonpath, therefor reluctantly using system python and not venv python.

The solution with conda.el is somehow weird. In Melpa it is listed as obsolete and with instructions of https://github.com/necaris/conda.el it won't recognize the environments on my certain machine.

On the same machine the solution with pyenv as mentioned in https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/20093/28567 is working like a charm.

Therefor you only need to install with M-x package-install search for pyenv and then insert following two lines into .emacs:

(setenv "WORKON_HOME" "~/anaconda3/envs") ; /anaconda3 || /miniconda || wathever path your conda installation is located at
