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.
