"Engel" (German for Angel) is a song by German Industrial metal band Rammstein. The song is released as the first single from their second album Sehnsucht. The remix of the song is used as the entrance theme for the Chikara heel stable Bruderschaft des Kreuzes. An English version of Engel can be found on US special editions of the Sehnsucht album.

The female part of the chorus of the song is sung by Christiane "Bobolina" Hebold of the German pop band Bobo in White Wooden Houses.
The video for Engel appears to give a nod to one of the scenes in the movie From Dusk Till Dawn.
While Lindemann, Schneider and Flake are in the audience in the video, Paul Landers can be seen taking Schneider's place by playing the drums and Richard and Ollie are seen singing.
A regular during the Sehnsucht tour, it was used as the last song of the main set in non-festival concerts. In the first months of the Mutter tour, Engel appeared in the setlists sporadically, but became a regular again in November, and continued as the last song of the main set until the end of the tour.
When performed on stage, flames shoot into the air, and Schneider's drumsticks would shoot sparks. On the 'Live aus Berlin' shows, Bobolina joins Rammstein to sing her parts from inside a flaming cage, instead of the usual pre-recorded chorus used in most of the shows. Engel was last performed live on 13 July 2002 [1]. After missing the entire Reise, Reise tour; Engel returned to the setlists as the closing song of the Liebe Ist Für Alle Da tour, taking place during 2009 and 2011. This time around, vocalist Till Lindemann sang the chorus instead of Bobo's pre-recorded lines. For the pyrotechnics, Lindemann wears a set angel wings that shoot flames off the tips and that have sparks go off along them [2].
A second single called Engel (Fan Edition) was released on 23 May 1997. It includes different track listing from the original and different artwork, featuring Till.
