Twist, Municipality in Emsland district, Lower Saxony, Germany
The municipality of Twist extends along the Dutch border at an elevation of 16 meters, featuring moorlands and agricultural landscapes in the northwestern region.
The settlement originated in 1784 when Prince-Bishop Max Franz permitted farmers from Hesepe village to establish homes in the bog area called Twist.
The Heimathaus, transformed from an old farmhouse, serves as a center for musical performances, including blues, folk, and jazz concerts that draw audiences from Germany and Netherlands.
The Nord-Sud-Kanal waterway system provides essential drainage infrastructure while supporting agricultural activities and water management throughout the municipality.
The municipality earned the nickname German Texas due to its oil production facilities, which brought substantial economic development to the region in the 1950s.
