ASE can read gen format (at least partially):

    ase convert geom.out.gen POSCAR

should do the trick.

An alternative might be the mctc-convert [1] program, which happens to
be included in some distributions of DFTB+ (notably it is not available
in the conda-forge one, because I explicitly delete it there).

Should work with

    mctc-convert geom.out.gen POSCAR

All the best
Sebastian
