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!
With deep sorrow and great respect, we bid farewell to an extraordinary and kind-hearted person who, with his loyal and confident demeanor, was always a role model for the entire company.
Today we celebrated a special anniversary: Florian Prantl has been with Gammel Engineering for 20 years. Over these two decades, technologies have changed, projects have evolved, and teams have been reorganized. One thing has remained constant: Florian Prantl is a reliable member of the Gammel Engineering team.
In 2026, Gammel Engineering was once again ready to head to the Gillamoos! Together with our partners, we kicked off the “fifth season” in Abensberg on Friday, as is our tradition.
