Status: Under Construction | Location: Hertha-Sponer-Straße, 61191 Rosbach vor der Höhe, Hesse, Germany
Firstcolo Data Center Rosbach (FRA7) is an AI-ready, high-density colocation facility located on Hertha-Sponer-Straße in Rosbach vor der Höhe, Hesse, Germany. Situated north of Frankfurt am Main, the development expands firstcolo's presence within the Rhine-Main region, one of Germany's most important digital infrastructure and connectivity markets. Representing a reported investment of approximately €250 million (more than US$270 million), the project is designed to provide additional data center capacity for enterprises, cloud providers and organizations seeking secure, high-performance infrastructure in Germany. Its AI-ready design reflects the growing need for facilities capable of supporting higher-density computing workloads, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-performance computing and data-intensive cloud applications. The development also supports demand for European-based data hosting, particularly among organizations with requirements for data sovereignty, regulatory compliance and control over where their digital workloads are processed. Rosbach's position within the wider Frankfurt metropolitan area provides access to an established technology ecosystem, including telecommunications networks, cloud service providers and enterprise customers. Frankfurt is a major European interconnection market, making the surrounding region strategically important for businesses requiring reliable connectivity and access to international digital services. By adding capacity outside the city centre, FRA7 further broadens firstcolo's regional infrastructure footprint while serving customers across the Rhine-Main economic corridor. The facility's high-density colocation focus positions it to accommodate evolving enterprise computing requirements as AI adoption and cloud workloads increase. Overall, the Rosbach development represents a significant investment in Germany's digital infrastructure market and strengthens the availability of locally operated, sovereignty-focused computing capacity in the region.
