Diesten is a village subordinated to the Lower Saxon town of Bergen in the northern part of Celle district on the Lüneburg Heath in northern Germany.

It has always had a rural character and, even today, has retained its original village layout.

In Lindhorst there is an old oak, protected by law, that was mentioned in a document as long ago as the 15th century.

Following the Lower Saxony district and administrative reform of 1973, the Diesten has been part of the borough of Bergen.
