Say what? What have you heard through the grapevine mate. Please, spill the beans!

I'm still putting my money on Leipzig. DHL is, after all, a German owned company. German government has pleged EUR 170 million towards the development of LEJ, which is roughly 1/3 of the total price. LEJ being in an under-developed area of the EU means that they are eligble for EU regional subsidies. LEJ is also strategically well placed for the expansion into the new EU member states, whereas as you say LFOK is in the middle of no where. But most importantly, LEJ is in Germany.
