Back in the days following September 11, 2001 there were recommendations
and edicts floating around that 350 miles is a good number. Within the financial
markets industry, there was even talk that this would become part of SEC
rules and enforced. I don't believe that ever happened.
Although I can't find the SEC draft papers on this anymore, I'm sure there is
doc available. I have these book marks:

It never happened. But my company, Board of Trade Clearing Corp., got
high marks for doing regular testing (quarterly). Something to keep in mind!

And there is also a certification group for Disaster Recovery Planners that
should have lots of recommendations. I can't find their website link at the
moment. Google BCP DR and you'll get a ton of hits. You might even be able to
find something relevant to your industry.
We are about 1800 miles from our hot site, so we are fairly confident that a
regional disaster won't affect both sites.

Hard to get that distance in Germany!
