In the south is Gombeth, in the west Kleinenglis and in the east Udenborn[1] (among to the municipal of Wabern).
Großenenglis's first documentary mention came in 775 under the name "Angelgise" in the Breviarium sancti Lulli, the Hersfeld Abbey Goods Directory.
In 1951, a southern neighbourhood, with 34 households, had to make way for the "Altenburg II" brown coal mine.
With a celebratory programme from 31 May to 4 June 2000, and the publication of a book, the town marked the 1,225th anniversary of its first documentary mention.
In Großenenglis, the theologian Marianne Hartung[2], née Pisch, was born and grew up.
