Headquarters evidence
DeepL's headquarters is located in Cologne.
The research candidate suggested 'EU headquarters', but its exact quote could not be reproduced from the cited current source; the claim remains unpromoted.
Evidence boundaries
Organisation listings identify a reviewed canonical record. Headquarters is independent of incorporation, registered offices, ownership, hosting and runtime. Model listings show an association in the source register; they do not by themselves establish model creation, current API availability, hosting location or infrastructure ownership.

Profile note
The largest-revenue European org in this segment that trains and serves its own models end to end (~$185M estimated ARR), and one of the few that trains on self-owned supercomputing rather than rented US cloud. Priced per character, not per token, which makes it hard to compare directly with LLM API vendors. The mid-2026 retirement of API Free/API Pro is a material change for developers.
