Museum der Strohverarbeitung

The museum occupies 850 square meters in a former barn, displaying historical machines and tools used in traditional straw processing methods.

Founded in 1992 by dedicated members of the local heritage association, the museum documents over 300 years of straw processing in the Twistringen region.

The exhibition reveals the social dimensions of the straw industry, including the extensive involvement of home workers and child laborers in production processes.

Visitors can explore the museum on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 to 11:30, with entrance fees of 3 euros for adults and free admission for children.

Forty volunteers maintain the facility and demonstrate historical manufacturing techniques, showing the production of straw hats, drinking straws, and bottle wrappings.
