There's some videos out there showing off their custom motherboards, it's an odd mixture of standard-ish consumer ATX but stripped down to the absolute bare essentials and with some components rearranged for better airflow in racks chassis they also build themselves: link to this video Another video showing the custom racks and other infrastructure: link

Der8auer did some similar videos a few years ago, but in English: link link to this video The second is especially interesting as it demonstrates Hetzner's unique semi-custom hardware.

Hetzner also do some crazy-cool stuff, especially around the 7950X3D, cooling, AM5 etc. ( link to this video ). They also do some amazing stuff with ARM (their cloud offering is really solid for this).
