Live and act

Ammering runs the bookbinding business, which was founded in 1840 and is still run as a family business in Ried im Innkreis, is married to Ursula and has three children.

With his company he is a specialist in the facsimilization of bibliophile works. Among other things, he has reproduced the Gutenberg Bible and the so-called Welfenbibel ( Genealogia Welforum , Historia Welforum ) by Heinrich the Lion in his Rieder bookbinding workshop. He is considered one of the best in his branch and one of his clients is the Vatican Library .

With the scroll reader he designed, facsimiles of historical writings in bookstores and libraries can be made more accessible to the reader.

From October 21, 1995 to February 7, 2003, he was chairman of the Ring of Freedom in Business and was chairman of the bookbinding guild (branch representative) in the Upper Austrian Chamber of Commerce for several years. At the beginning of the 2010s, the printing, journalism, and paper union identified grievances in one of its companies.

Ammering, like his father Ernst Wilhelm Ammering, is a member of the Innviertel artists' guild .
