Twixlum is a village in Lower Saxony, Germany. Located to the northwest of the city, it is administratively a district (Stadtteil) of Emden. The village was incorporated as such on 1 July 1972, as were the villages of Logumer Vorwerk and Wybelsum.^[1]

Twixlum has retained its village character. In the center of the village is the village church. The current church was built around 1500.^[2] The tower, which is lower than the church, is a remnant of an older church that was probably built in the fourteenth century.
