Follow-up 5: Commitment - not just professionally
So tell me, Mr. Gammel, what other topics are close to your heart?
For the Gammel family - and I naturally include our employees in this - social and voluntary commitment is very important. We like to take on responsibility in society. Years ago, my wife and I founded the Cabrini Haus circle of friends and support it in the long term. Up to 200 children and young people with disabilities are accommodated in the facility run by the Catholic Jugendfürsorge Regensburg. They are cared for, taught and prepared for a life with the greatest possible independence.
Everyone should be able to experience the feeling of a grateful, trusting smile from a disadvantaged Cabrini child! Many of the campaigns are also supported by my Lions Club Kelheim Holledau or by the Chaine des Rotisseurs, the international association for friends of tableware and dining culture. I am also actively involved in representing the interests of companies in the region as IHK chairman for the district of Kelheim.
On October 13, 2026, we were pleased to welcome Ms. Annette Bauer, coordinator, and Ms. Anna Portner, president of the hospice association, to our facility. As part of our Gammel Family Social Fund, we presented them with a donation of 850 euros.
A forward-looking construction project will begin in Offenstetten with a ceremonial groundbreaking on October 2, 2026. A modern building complex for approximately 220 children and adolescents will be built in two phases.
New housing is being built on the site of the former Prinz-Leopold Barracks in Regensburg. On Friday, October 1, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for 226 subsidized apartments—adding another important component to the Innovation Quarter.
