A project-stage tracker of major German data-centre developments, separating current capacity, first phases, long-term campus potential and projects still in planning.
Germany's data-centre buildout now spans Frankfurt, Berlin-Brandenburg, northern Germany and North Rhine-Westphalia. The market is being pulled by conventional cloud demand, AI workloads, sovereign-cloud requirements and the search for large power connections outside the most constrained Frankfurt locations.
This tracker does not add MVA, MW, programme investment and long-term campus potential into one headline total. Those numbers describe different things and remain attached to the project and stage in which they were disclosed.
Methodology
Projects are included where an operator, public authority or high-quality market source identifies a German location and material data-centre development. PwC's German data-centre project overview is used for a number of Frankfurt and regional projects, while operator or public-sector sources are preferred where available.
Operating, expansion, development, planning and long-term campus potential are separate stages. Where capacity is disclosed in MVA rather than MW, the original unit is retained instead of applying an assumed power factor.
These dataset-specific rules operate under the publication's research methodology, including its source hierarchy, refresh policy and treatment of missing values.
How to cite this dataset
Use the dataset title, publication and review date. Project and company status can change, so citations should preserve the review date rather than describing the table as permanently current.
Reuse and attribution
Journalists, researchers and analysts may quote figures with attribution to German Business Review and the dataset review date. For substantial republication, chart reuse or data licensing, use the publication contact details.
