The Katholische Jugendfürsorge der Diözese Regensburg e.V. is responsible for the St. Vincent Children's Center in Johann-Hösl-Straße. The facility is home to 180 children and young people aged between five and twenty who require inpatient or semi-residential educational support. Around 140 children and young people live in the curative education and therapeutic areas of the children's center. The KJF employs around 150 staff in this facility. In spring, Prof. Markus Brautsch from the Institute for Energy Technology at the Amberg/Weiden University of Applied Sciences presented his integral energy concept for St. Vincent. His recommendations are now being implemented. Energy-saving measures have also been implemented in the other KJF facilities.
The natural gas cogeneration plant has been in operation since Monday and generates 33 kW of electrical and 71 kW of thermal power. The 3 old boilers (1,200 kW) are currently being replaced by a condensing boiler and a low-temperature gas boiler (total output now only 640 kW!), the installation of regulated pumps, hydraulic balancing in the pipe network, the installation of the buffer storage tank and the renewal of the measurement and control technology. Catholic Youth Welfare and our project manager Robert Göttfried are thus bringing the building technology back up to date.
The Gammel Engineering team would like to thank the KJF for more than 25 years of trusting 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.
