Background papers on the big topics surrounding the project, intended for citizens, the local press and anyone who would like to read up on it. We are adding to the collection all the time.
How the industrial buildings of the digital economy work and why Germany needs more of them.

Under the project name engrida, the Wirth Gruppe is developing a data centre campus at the Philippsburg site with its own power generation, power grid and municipal heat, designed as a platform of several pillars whose corporate structures will be created as the project progresses.
The project is sponsored by the Wirth Gruppe, a regionally rooted family business headquartered in neighbouring Waghäusel. We know the region, the people and the local concerns, and we are planning for the coming decades.
