CDU Blocks Vote on €3 Billion Data Center Investment in Babenhausen's Aumovio Site
The Babenhausen Bauausschuss did not vote on plans for a €3 billion data center on the former Continental site. Aumovio's Wilke Winkelmann presented the project, which aims to create 150-200 jobs and additional space for small businesses. However, local politicians, including CDU members, expressed concerns over the speed of the process and requested more time for consideration.

The Babenhausen Bauausschuss did not reach a decision on a proposed €3 billion data center on the Aumovio site, previously Continental, which could create 150-200 jobs. Aumovio's plans, presented by Wilke Winkelmann, included interest from logistics and data center operators, notably Stack Infrastructure.
Local politicians, particularly from the CDU, voiced concerns about the rapid pace of the proposal, asking for more time to evaluate factors such as energy consumption and compatibility with regional plans. The vote was blocked despite appeals for action, with potential delays pushing any decision to June.
