Engels, Industrial center on Volga River, Russia
Engels extends along the left bank of the Volga River directly opposite Saratov, with numerous manufacturing facilities spread across its urban landscape.
The settlement, established in 1747 as Pokrovskaya sloboda, functioned as the capital of the Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic from 1922 to 1941.
The city received its current name in 1931 to commemorate Friedrich Engels, marking a shift from its German heritage to a more Russian-oriented identity.
The Trolza factory in Engels manufactures trolleybuses while the Bosch-Saratov facility produces spark plugs, making the city a primary industrial producer in the region.
A highway bridge constructed in 1965 connects Engels to Saratov, enabling daily commuter traffic between these two major urban centers of the Saratov Oblast.
