Gammel Engineering and Stadtwerke Traureut have been working together since 2002. A biomass cogeneration plant supplies a large number of public, commercial and private properties with heat.
In 2010, the integration of the geothermal power plant built by a private investor into the overall network was investigated - and a favorable heat supply contract was successfully negotiated for Stadtwerke Traureut.
Last Friday, the district heating feed-in from geothermal energy was put into operation in Traunreut. This means that over 2000 households in Traunreut can now be supplied with geothermal energy.
Every second, 40 liters of thermal water are extracted from a depth of 5000 meters - the target is 165 liters per second. After the energy transformation, this thermal water is then fed back into the water reservoir; two heat exchangers ensure trouble-free heat transformation into the district heating network.

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.
