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.

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.
