History
Founded as Pokrovskaya sloboda by Ukrainian settlers in 1747, it was granted town status and renamed Pokrovsk (Покровск) in 1914.[citation needed] During the reign of Catherine the Great, ethnic Germans moved there, making it a major center of the Volga German culture. At that time, the town was known as Kosakenstadt ("Cossacks' Town"). It became the capital of the Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, now a part of Saratov Oblast, in 1924, and it was renamed Engels in 1931.[citation needed] On August 26, 2011, a monument in honor of the Russian-German victims of repression within the Soviet Union was unveiled.
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Engels serves as the administrative center of Engelssky District,[2] even though it is not a part of it.[8] As an administrative division, it is, together with four rural localities, incorporated separately as Engels City Under Oblast Jurisdiction[8]—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[citation needed] As a municipal division, Engels City Under Oblast Jurisdiction, together with the work settlement of Privolzhsky and one rural locality (the settlement of Geofizik) in Engelssky District, are incorporated within Engelssky Municipal District as Engels Urban Settlement.[3]
