A large data center is rumored to be arriving in the town of Hofheim in the state of Hesse, western Germany.
The 10-hectare (24-acre) plot known as ‘In der Lach’ was sold by property developers Krieger Group to a mystery buyer earlier this month.

According to reporting by Frankfurter Neue Presse, the site was sold to Amazon, but this was denied to DCD by Hofheim’s municipal authorities. Amazon declined to comment. DCD has also approached the Krieger Group to confirm the story.
During an unscheduled appearance before Hofheim’s local council, the town’s mayor Wilhelm Schultze confirmed the sale of the plot by the Krieger Group but did not name Amazon as the buyer.
