## Why Germany

Frankfurt sits on DE-CIX, the largest exchange point in the world by peak traffic, at 1 ms local and 7 ms to Amsterdam. Germany has no enforceable general retention mandate after the Constitutional Court struck it down and the CJEU confirmed, and Art. 10 of the Grundgesetz protects telecommunications secrecy — but it remains a Fourteen Eyes participant inside EU judicial cooperation.

**Trade-off:** The best network position in Europe and a genuinely mixed legal picture. Germany has no enforceable general retention mandate — the Constitutional Court struck it down in 2010 and the CJEU confirmed in 2022 — and Art. 10 of the Grundgesetz protects telecommunications secrecy. Against that: Fourteen Eyes participation and full EU judicial cooperation, so a European Investigation Order reaches Frankfurt directly. Better than Paris or London on paper, still not a substitute for Zürich.

## Legal basis

| Constitutional secrecy of telecommunications, subject to statutory limits | Grundgesetz, Art. 10 | 1949 |
| Platform takedown duties for manifestly unlawful content within 24 hours | Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz (NetzDG) | 2017 |
