Schwarz Gruppe Breaks Ground on €11 Billion Lübbenau Data Center Campus

The six‑module, 200 MW site will primarily serve the retailer’s own cloud to safeguard data sovereignty.

Overview

  • The company says the campus will cover about 13 hectares and comprise six independent modules designed for high reliability.
  • Planned investment totals roughly €11 billion with 200 MW of capacity intended to support extensive GPU‑driven AI workloads.
  • Initial capacity is targeted for the second half of 2027 with full completion by the end of 2027 following Monday’s groundbreaking.
  • Executives state the facility is chiefly for in‑house cloud and data so the group can control customer information under German data‑protection norms.
  • Waste heat is intended for local district heating via the neighboring municipal plant, with an estimate of supplying up to 75,000 households.
