Marx's writing partner (6)

I believe the answer is:

engels

(Other definitions for engels that I've seen before include "Friedrich --, associate of Karl Marx" , "Close collaborator of Karl Marx" , "Friedrich -, Marx collaborator" , "German linked to Marx" , "German political philosopher who collaborated with Marx" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
