But if you're interested, you'll need to move fast.  According to Business Insider and the German newspaper Leipziger Volkszeitung, Amazon, Apple, Tesla and Toyota are all scouting for potential new sites in this region.

A former Cold War-era Soviet air force base, Airport Madgeburg Cochstedt International is located approximately 120 miles southwest of Berlin. Originally built in 1957, it was expanded to accommodate commercial flight after the reunification of Germany in 1990. In 2010, a Danish company acquired the airport and invested 30 million euros (approx. $33.4 million) to upgrade its runway, apron, taxiway and control tower.

Today, it is not only Saxony-Anhalt’s only international airport, but it is also a growing hub for freight, logistics and an ad-hoc charter business. It is fully-licensed to operate under visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR) 24 hours a day, and has regularly been used for test flights by Lufthansa, Airbus and DLR, the German Center for Aerospace. Assets included in the sale of this 230-hectare (approx. 568 acre) airport are a 168 acre fully-developed industrial area, 10,000 x 200 foot runway, control tower, fire station, terminal building and parking lot.
