Deutsche Telekom adds 20MW to Munich AI data center

By Elena Vasquez

Deutsche Telekom will expand its AI factory at Munich’s Tucherpark by 20MW, adding Nvidia Blackwell Ultra Generation B300 GPUs to a site that went live in February 2026.

The company announced the work this week, after outlining plans for the Industrial AI Cloud in October 2025. Its initial deployment increased available AI computing capacity in Germany by 50 percent and became fully booked within seven months.

What hardware will the expansion add?

Deutsche Telekom will continue to use Nvidia’s RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition and B200 GPUs. It will also deploy additional Blackwell Ultra Generation B300 GPUs at the facility, extending the site’s hardware range without dropping the two existing configurations.

The announcement gives no GPU unit counts, benchmark results, capital budget or commissioning date. For capacity planners, the announced package combines 20MW of additional power with a further B300 allocation; neither comes with a processor count or delivery schedule.

CEO Tim Höttges said: “Germany must not only be a user of AI; it must also create value and prosperity itself. Telekom has moved forward here at a rapid pace.”

He added: “The goal is not only to develop AI, but to put it into practice as a scalable business model – delivering measurable efficiency gains, new products, and additional value creation in Germany and Europe.”

The seven-month booking period supplies the demand reference point for the 20MW extension. The CEO’s emphasis on measurable efficiency gains and new products also sets the commercial standard for the expansion.

Where does Munich fit in Germany’s data center market?

According to a May 2024 market report from data center research firm DC Byte, Munich ranks as Germany’s third-largest market by capacity, behind Frankfurt and Berlin.

Deutsche Telekom already operates facilities and private cloud regions in Munich, Frankfurt and Biere, alongside sites in Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands and the US. T-Systems launched a private cloud region in Spain in 2024.

How big is T-Systems?

T-Systems, founded in 2000, operates 130MW of data center capacity across 16 data centers. For scale, the 20MW Tucherpark addition sits within that 130MW portfolio rather than a stand-alone network.

Where does the EU gigafactory initiative fit?

SAP and Deutsche Telekom were among the companies pitching to host a large-scale data center under the European Union’s AI gigafactory initiative. The pitch matters as a separate, larger-scale development from the 20MW build-out at Tucherpark. No host decision, gigafactory capacity figure or European funding amount accompanied the announcement.

Who backs the related data center operators?

Digital Transformation Capital Partners was spun out of Deutsche Telekom in 2015 but retains close ties to the telco. It owns a majority stake in German data center operator Maincubes and recently took a stake in Irish data center firm Atlantic Hub.

That structure keeps Deutsche Telekom connected to external operating and investment relationships, even as T-Systems runs its own 16-site footprint.

Deutsche Telekom has not disclosed a completion date, cost, GPU count or customer allocation for the 20MW extension. The operating baseline is the initial deployment’s 50 percent increase in available AI computing capacity in Germany and full booking within seven months.
