"Rolf Schumann, co-director of Schwarz Digits, the subsidiary running the Lübenau project, said that the new data centre will offer a "secure and independent infrastructure" so that European businesses and citizens alike "can shape their digital future autonomously". Six modules of the data centre, each the size of four football fields, will be built on the site in the Spreewald region, where a since-shuttered power plant was located when the area was part of communist East Germany."

Germany is constructing a major data centre complex in Lübenau intended to host European and German data without storage in the United States. Schwarz Digits runs the project and plans six modules, each the size of four football fields, on a former power plant site in the Spreewald region. Three modules are expected to be operational by the end of 2027, though construction remains at an early stage. The site aims to accommodate up to 100,000 GPUs, qualifying it as an AI giga-factory. The project forms part of wider European efforts to boost digital sovereignty and regain control over cloud and AI infrastructure.
