The Brauerei Schneider Weisse brewery based in Kelheim was founded in 1607 by the Bavarian Duke Maximilian I, making it the oldest wheat beer brewery in Bavaria. the Schneider family bought the business in 1827. Since then, the brewery has been successfully run by several generations.
Georg Schneider VI, master brewer with heart and soul and current owner of Schneider Weisse, explains in an interview with Focus how he managed to become largely independent of fossil fuels and switch to sustainable energy from the region.
He generates his own energy using wood chips, which are reliably supplied by farmers in the region, which he then uses to cook the brewhouse, clean and fill the beer bottles and heat the buildings and the restaurant next door.
The concept developed and implemented by our consulting and engineering team has proven its worth for more than 10 years: Schneider Weisse burns wood residues from forest and woodland management and landscape conservation, thus ensuring sustainability in the region.

The exchange on digitalization, AI and new technologies is becoming increasingly important for companies. We are therefore all the more pleased that our authorized signatory Thomas Winkler will also be supporting these topics in the digitalization committee of the Regensburg Chamber of Industry and Commerce in future.
On 12.05.2026, Gammel Engineering was once again a guest at the Waltl-Hof for the annual asparagus dinner. In a relaxed atmosphere, with excellent food and good conversation, the focus was on one thing above all: spending time together as a team.
