Groundbreaking for 226 apartments—and a strong signal for the heating transition!

Groundbreaking for 226 apartments—and a strong signal for the heating transition!

New housing is being built on the site of the former Prinz-Leopold Barracks in Regensburg.

On Friday, October 1, the groundbreaking ceremony took place for 226 subsidized apartments—adding another important component to the Innovation Quarter.

We’re just as excited about what’s taking shape beneath the surface: a heating system that intelligently combines different technologies.

For the first phase of development, we at Gammel Engineering are planning approximately 240 geothermal probes, three brine heat pumps with a total output of 735 kW, and a heating network with a flow temperature of approximately 40 °C.

Decentralized booster heat pumps provide domestic hot water in the buildings.

Photovoltaics, storage systems, and a smart control system round out the energy concept.

This creates a flexible system that balances generation with heat demand—and remains open to additional heat sources.

An important step for Regensburg. And a project in which we have the opportunity to play a concrete role in shaping the heat transition.
