Primevest Capital Partners has acquired a fibre-optic network in Germany for its existing joint venture with Munich Re’s asset management arm MEAG and German pension fund Ärzteversorgung Westfalen-Lippe (ÄVWL).

Open German Fiber, a joint venture established in 2022, has purchased a network in the German city of Bad Nauheim from the local municipal utility.

It will continue the roll out of fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband in the town through a cooperation agreement with Stadtwerke Bad Nauheim. 

Primevest said it was partnering with internet service provider YplaY in Bad Nauheim.

Klaus Kreß, mayor and chairman of Stadtwerke, said: “With Primevest’s expertise in communication infrastructure investment, we are now able to further expand the fibre-optic network throughout our catchment area.

â€�This strategic partnership unlocks the financial and operational capabilities needed to provide high-speed internet services for every resident of Bad Nauheim, ensuring our city is well-prepared for the future.â€� 

Klaus Leckelt, senior acquisition manager at Primevest, said: â€œThe shared objective among all cooperation partners is to establish full coverage of FTTH fibre-optic network for all parts of the city, ensuring optimal access for all citizens. This overarching goal serves as the cornerstone for all our investments.â€�

Primevest said it had built up a diversified portfolio of cash-generating fibre networks on a long-term lease model for its first communication infrastructure fund and Open German Fiber joint venture.

The company is also raising capital for a second communication infrastructure fund, which will focus on Germany, The Netherlands, Austria and Belgium.
