Engelbostel is a district of the city of Langenhagen in the Hanover region. It was independent until 1974 when the village was incorporated into Langenhagen. The town is located southwest of the Hannover-Langenhagen airport. To the east is Schulenburg, and to the west are the town of Garbsen and the villages of Berenbostel and Stelingen.
==History== In 2008 Engelbostel celebrated its 975-year anniversary, but the site was probably established around the year 900. The archaeologist Helmut Plath considers that St. Gallenhof, the nucleus of the town, was present by 1100 CE. It was assigned to the parish of Saint Mary's of Hanover. In 1196 the church building was given by the Grafen von Roden to the monastery of Marienwerder. The 15th century church was built on the foundations of its predecessors, and the steeple remains. The nave was attached to it in 1788.
