Wangels has served as an agricultural settlement on the Wagrien peninsula in eastern Schleswig-Holstein since the Middle Ages. The municipality lies close to the Baltic Sea and Hohwachter Bucht, amid Ostholstein’s gently rolling mix of fields, woodland and former estate land. Its territory includes the coastal locality of Weißenhaus and the inland village of Hansühn, connecting a quiet rural interior with the resorts and beaches of the Baltic shore. The historic Gut Weißenhaus estate reflects the manor-based landowning traditions that shaped much of Holstein. Wangels also lies near Oldenburg in Holstein, a longstanding regional centre.
