- Munich is Germany's third-largest data center market by capacity, behind Frankfurt and Berlin, according to a May 2024 report from research firm DC Byte cited by Data Center Dynamics.
Deutsche Telekom will add 20MW of AI computing capacity at its 'AI factory' in Munich's Tucherpark, deploying Nvidia Blackwell Ultra B300 GPUs alongside the hardware already running there, Data Center Dynamics reported Nov. 10.
The carrier announced the expansion this week. The initial Munich deployment, announced in October 2025 and live in February 2026, raised available AI computing capacity in Germany by 50% and was fully booked within seven months, according to Data Center Dynamics. The site will continue to use Nvidia's RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition and B200 GPUs alongside the new B300s. Terms were not disclosed.
For allocators weighing AI compute exposure, booking speed rather than megawatts is the number to track on the Munich expansion. The first phase was fully booked within seven months, according to Data Center Dynamics; the 20MW addition will be judged against that pace, because a GPU hall starts earning only once capacity is taken up.
At 20MW, the addition equals about 15% of the 130MW that Deutsche Telekom's T-Systems unit operates across 16 data centers, a footprint spanning Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands and the US. Munich is Germany's third-largest data center market by capacity, behind Frankfurt and Berlin, according to a May 2024 report from research firm DC Byte cited by Data Center Dynamics.
The B300 deployment puts Deutsche Telekom on the same GPU generation that Fireworks signed for 5MW at Era4, as Private Infrastructure Daily previously reported. Tim Höttges, Deutsche Telekom's chief executive, said: "Germany must not only be a user of AI; it must also create value and prosperity itself."
SAP and Deutsche Telekom were among the companies pitching to host a large-scale data center under the European Union's AI gigafactory initiative, Data Center Dynamics reported.
