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.
On April 21, 2026, the Bavarian Energy Forum took place in Gunzenhausen; it is one of the most important gatherings for municipal decision-makers, energy providers, and planning experts in Bavaria.
Gammel Engineering was also represented as an exhibitor and gave its own technical presentation.
Michael S. Gammel gave a presentation titled: “The Bridge from KWP to BEW – Developing, Planning, and Building Heating Networks – Step by Step.”
In his presentation, he provided a practical overview of how municipalities can successfully manage the transition from municipal heat planning (KWP) to federal funding for efficient heating networks (BEW).
He explained the steps necessary to develop a strategic concept into an eligible and implementable district heating project—from the feasibility study through funding applications to concrete implementation.
The Energy Forum provided an excellent opportunity for exchange with representatives from local governments, politics, and business.
At the exhibition booth, the Gammel team held numerous discussions about current projects, funding opportunities, and the next steps toward a climate-neutral heat supply in Bavaria.
Michael S. Gammel aptly summarized the day:
Many thanks to the Bayerische GemeindeZeitung and the Bavarian Association of Municipalities for the successful event, and to all visitors for the engaging discussions in Gunzenhausen.
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.
