For 30 years Dr.
Jochen Kammann Doctor in Kottgeisering.
Now he has handed over his practice.
His successor is also his new boss.
Because Kammann will stay with the Kottgeiseringers – as a field worker.
Kottgeisering - "The rural population here is still okay, they don't have such excessive demands as in the city and only ask for help when it's really necessary," says the previous Kottgeisering practice owner, Dr.
Jochen Kammann.
That is also one of the reasons why he has been working three years past the actual retirement age.
And why he has endured his village practice for exactly 30 years – even though his family is at home in the Freising district.
"We live a creative family model," reports the passionate country doctor with a wink.
The choice fell on Kottgeisering, "because I have many friends here and have relatively little to do with drug patients," reports Kammann, who, after graduating from high school, is training to become a certified sports teacher at the sports university in Cologne

let.
But he doesn't want to stop completely just yet - and so from now on he will be making home visits and taking care of his patients in the Marthashofen and Jesenwang retirement homes.
In the field
A smooth handover of the practice was also important to him because his successor, Elisabeth Eikelmann, is also his new boss.
He hired her as a field worker.
The specialist in general medicine comes from a general practice in Jesenwang and is already practicing in Kammann's former premises.
Eikelmann also took over the consultation team of Petra Ullrich and Theresa Krebs.
"My goal is to offer family medicine for all age groups that is close to home," says the 52-year-old.
Eikelmann deliberately wants to set a counterpoint to the medical care centers (MVZ) and the anonymous large practices.
Mayor Andreas Folger is particularly pleased that everyone is welcome: "It is invaluable for the town and its residents that medical care is still guaranteed," said the mayor.
He gave Eikelmann a bouquet of flowers as a welcome gift and Kammann a Kottgeiseringer mug as a parting gift.
