Engelschoff is a municipality in the district of Stade, Lower Saxony, Germany.

The village was subject to the summary jurisdiction by the Porta Coeli convent of nuns in then Eulsete (now Himmelpforten).

[2] Engelschoff remained part of that jurisdiction also after the convent was transformed into the secular seigniorial Amt Himmelpforten in 1647.

[5] In 1813 the Duchy was restored to the Electorate of Hanover, which - after its upgrade to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1814 - incorporated the Duchy in a real union and the Ducal territory, including Engelschoff within the Amt Himmelpforten, became part of the new Stade Region, established in 1823.

Since in 1885 the Amt Himmelpforten merged in the new District of Stade Engelschoff forms part of it.
