Description
Regensburg - The Prinz-Leopold-Kaserne is becoming the energy district of the future!
One of the most ambitious urban heat transition projects in Germany is being built on the site of the former Prinz-Leopold-Kaserne (PLK) - a model district with a fully renewable energy supply. And we at Gammel Engineering are helping to design the entire energy technology! 💚🌍
🔧 What makes the project so special?
💡 LowEx local heating network (< 75 °C): Efficient supply of over 600 residential units, school & business with minimal pipe losses
🌱 100% renewable heat sources: Use of wastewater heat, air heat, geothermal heat (probe field), combined via large heat pumps
⚡ Sector coupling live: PV electricity → electrolysis → H₂ storage → reconversion & heat utilization
🌡️ Modern energy center with heat storage, buffer management and intelligent control
💬 Climate-neutral supply without fossil fuels - planned & implemented in the city of Regensburg
🧰 Our services - comprehensive & integrated
✅ General planning of energy center & local heating network
✅ Integration of:
- Heat pump systems
- PV systems
- Waste water heat exchangers
- H₂ technology with reconversion
- Project management incl. Funding management & construction phase planning
- interface coordination with Stadtbau, mobility center, school & residential district
🌟Why PLK is a real lighthouse project
📍 The first fully regeneratively supplied urban district in Regensburg
🔋 Hydrogen as seasonal storage - integrated & exemplary
🏙️ Combination of LowEx grid, decentralized heat pumps, central PV use and smart grid control
🚀 Climate neutrality is not a vision here - but a reality from 2026
✅ Conclusion
Technology that changes the city:
Gammel Engineering delivers what tomorrow's urban heat supply needs for PLK - intelligent, emission-free and 100% future-proof.
💡🌍 This is how the heat transition works today.
