Google is reportedly set to make its largest-ever investment commitment to Germany.
According to a letter seen by Handlesblatt, Google will be revealing a major data center and infrastructure project in the country on November 11 with Germany’s Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil.
The project will see the construction of new data centers and infrastructure, expand Google’s existing facilities in Munich, Frankfurt, and Berlin, and include projects for the use of renewable energies and waste heat, the letter said.
DCD has contacted Google for comment.
Google currently operates two cloud regions in Germany, located in Berlin and Frankfurt. The Berlin region was launched in 2023, and Frankfurt in 2017.
The company was previously planning a new data center in Berlin, but pulled out in July 2025, stating the decision was made “after a thorough review of feasibility, general market developments, and our business priorities.”
The Berlin region is based in data centers where Google leases space. Elsewhere in the country, Google has its own data center in Hanau, which opened in 2023, and one of three possible construction phases has been completed so far.
The company also owns two sites in the Rhine-Main region of Germany, which are available for data center construction.
In 2024, Microsoft announced it would invest €3.2 billion ($3.44bn) to double its AI infrastructure and cloud computing capacity in Germany, and has since revealed plans for data centers in Cologne and Elsdorf.
Amazon Web Services (AWS), meanwhile, committed some $9.44bn to its Frankfurt cloud region in June 2024, and a further $8.47bn to establishing a European sovereign cloud in the country, which was launched as a separate entity earlier this year.
