The Gau Engilin extended in the Thuringian Basin on both sides of the middle and lower Unstrut on the southern slope of the Hainleite , Schmücke and Finne mountain ranges via Memleben to near Naumburg an der Unstrut in southern Saxony-Anhalt .

The landscape name Engili was first mentioned in 772. The names Engilin (932), Englehem and Englide (around 802) are also very old. The Gau was named after the anglers who moved to this region in a hiking community with the Warnen and settled as colonists on both banks of the middle and south of the lower Unstrut . The warning settled in the east lying Gau Werinofeld . The details of the settlement are controversial among historians.

The Lex Angliorum et Werinorum hoc est Thuringorum , which Charlemagne had recorded around 802/803 , also refers to the presence of fishing rods and warning in Thuringia .

The root of the word in the names of some of the villages and districts that still exist today, such as Holzengel , Feldengel, Kirchengel or Westerengel near Großenehrich in the Kyffhäuserkreis , goes back to these settlers.
