Germany only 521? Seems a bit low.
What counts as a "data center"? How many rooms and how many racks does it need to have?
I believe it needs to be a building that is only dedicated to servers.
Not an office building or factory with a server room attached.
In 2020 there have been around 3000 data centers in Germany. Sounds more plausible to me.
Why? Because data protection and stuff is so good here? Wouldn't that apply to any other EU country too?
