Within Cologne I'd start with contacting Digitale Kultur e.V. (http://www.digitalekultur.org/en/)
or Chaos Computer Club Cologne e.V. (https://koeln.ccc.de/).  Both have
members familiar with hosting.

Outside of Cologne I'd try something like Hetzner. Bit more than needed,
but 1/3rd of a rack goes for 119€/month.

I'll ask some of my ex-colleagues if their MS contacts can help out.

HTH,
