Caritas-Krankenhaus Bad Mergentheim

Caritas Hospital in Bad Mergentheim, Germany, is constructing a new 147 sqm (1,580 sq ft) modular data center, with a groundbreaking ceremony held on October 6. This facility will serve not only Caritas Hospital but also other hospitals within the Barmherzige Brüder Trier (BBT Group) hospital network in Baden-Württemberg, including Tauberbischofsheim Hospital and Hohenlohe Hospital in Öhringen. The data center will house server rooms, electrical distribution, cooling, and security technology, and will be equipped with diesel generators for emergency power. A solar array will also be installed to provide energy. The project, with an investment of €3.6m ($4.18m), is expected to be operational in Q1 2026 and aims to increase compute capacity to enable advanced medical applications, including AI in diagnostics and radiology. This initiative is a significant investment in the future of regional healthcare and digital transformation within the BBT Group, one of Germany's largest healthcare organizations.
