This is where the heart of our infrastructure beats

Located in the middle of the Vogtland region, not far from Plauen, our first proprietary data center park has stood here since 2009 - and it remains Hetzner’s largest site of its kind to this day. From secure server environments and state-of-the-art network technology to customized product development. Our employees not only ensure the smooth operation of the data center, but also work in areas such as software development, server and rack construction, networking, and product development on innovations that drive Hetzner forward every day. Falkenstein is thus a central hub for our technology and growth.

Falkenstein is home to around 180 employees. Here, teams work directly in the data centers, in the cold aisles with state-of-the-art technology and in rack and server construction. Many colleagues also work in offices located inside the data centers. These benefit directly from the waste heat, which is used for heating. Despite the highly technical environment, there is no shortage of social interaction: free barbecue events, a well-stocked drinks fridge, ice cream, coffee and tea stations, access to a physiotherapist, and friendly, ergonomic workspaces with standing desks and plenty of greenery. Prestigious events such as the Hetzner Summit also help make Falkenstein a particularly special place to work.
