This looks like a typo. And the error doesn't match the command given. I suspect that your actual 'dig' command was 'dig @2a01:488:66:1000:53a:53 cweiske.de', which will reproduce the error. '2a01:488:66:1000:53a:53' is not an IPv6 address. You are missing a :: or a couple of words. (There should be 8 16-bit words delimited by ':', or a single '::' ellipsis to represent a run of zeroes.) Since it doesn't parse as an IPv6 address, dig (probably getaddrinfo()) tried to translate the string as a hostname. Hence the error. It's really not in anyone's interest when people post obfuscated questions...
