Hangelar, Administrative district in Sankt Augustin, Germany.
Hangelar is an administrative district in Sankt Augustin made up of several residential neighborhoods, including Alter Niederberg and Neuer Niederberg. The area is linked by streets like Beethoven and Schubert streets and served by three city rail stations that connect it to public transportation.
The place first appears in records from 1314, when Johannes de Hangelare was documented as a resident. Over the centuries, it developed from a small settlement into a modern district with established infrastructure.
The Parish Church of Sankt Anna shapes the neighborhood's character and shows how the community has put down roots here over many generations. Its modern interior spaces came from a reconstruction, though select original furnishings remained and connect visitors to the past.

The Hangelar airfield, established in 1909, was originally an aviation facility and now houses an important security site. Its history shows how a historic location took on new roles and continues to serve a purpose today.
