Twistringen, Urban municipality in Diepholz, Germany.

Twistringen spans over 114 square kilometers at 54 meters elevation, with a population of 12,952 residents in Lower Saxony.

The settlement received its first written mention in 1250 as Thuisteringe, and a parish established around 825 underwent re-Catholicization in 1618.

The municipality maintains international connections through partnerships with Bonnétable in France and Kaišiadorys in Lithuania since 1977 and 2011.

The town connects to Bremen and Osnabrück via railway lines, while the B51 federal road provides direct access to neighboring cities.

A museum displays the record-breaking giant straw hat measuring 5.50 meters in diameter, constructed for the town's 750th anniversary.
