Just in time for the July 31, 2014 deadline, the Birkenhof is commissioning the new natural gas cogeneration plant for the combined generation of electricity (>130 kW) and heat (approx. 155 kW). The electricity covers the entire base load in the modern restaurant complex with its 2-star Eisvogel restaurant. The extraordinary creativity of Hubert Obendorfer's kitchen and his team also inspired the planners at Gammel Engineering: An innovative overall concept to reduce energy costs and emissions is a perfect fit for the catering business with the most beautiful SPA area and a fantastic view over the wooded Upper Palatinate hills with a magnificent lake landscape - pure relaxation without the risk of traffic jams on arrival.
Just take a look at http://www.landhotel-birkenhof.de - the ultimate desire for vacation and enjoyment is guaranteed to set in immediately. And via the webcam you can see the construction progress of the new apartments and the extension of the wellness area, which will of course also be supplied with environmentally friendly energy via the new energy center. Team Gammel Engineering is the building services engineering partner of Landhotel Birkenhof - we would like to thank them for their trust and friendly cooperation.

On June 2, 2026, we welcomed the newly elected state chairman of the FDP Bavaria, Matthias Fischbach, as well as the new Secretary General Daniel Kuhagen together with the FDP Kelheim - represented by Susanne Blask and Dr. Heinz Kroiss - at Gammel Engineering in Abensberg.
Yesterday, we welcomed a special visitor to Gammel Engineering: the cyclists of the Glückstour 2026 made a stop at our premises. With great personal commitment, they are collecting donations for children with cancer and serious illnesses on their tour. This impressive initiative has been moving people and providing concrete help for many years.
Our employees voted together and decided to support the Hölzgen family with a donation from the Gammel Family Social Fund.
