Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

"unter der Reeperbahn"

400 years of the Reeperbahn mean much more than just a kilometer of red-light district. They mark the historical existence of Hamburg's famous thoroughfare. Over the centuries, it has changed and reinvented itself time and again. On the many walking tours, visitors learn about its history and stories of good times and bad. Moments of euphoria, hope, and despair at the outbreak of World War II. A war made possible only by its proximity to the port.

With the Nazi Party's rise to power in the 1930s, the political landscape changed dramatically. Germany was at war and began a massive rearmament program. Once again, the Port of Hamburg became a focal point. As the most important armaments production center, the region became a prime target. Shelters were needed to protect the war-essential workers. Without their labor, the war would have been lost quickly. Bunkers were required and constructed as rapidly as possible. Due to the geological conditions, the construction of these massive structures was only possible on the St. Pauli side of the Elbe River. Space was to be created near the Elbe for 40,000 dockworkers and their families. In just a few years, a variety of shelter types were built.

Join me as we journey into the past and together we'll decide what makes the most sense for its future use!

"On the lookout for the wall"

Three perception walks in the here and now of the historic ramparts.

We start with attentive walking and undirected listening. We walk and stroll between former walls and ditches. We prick up our ears, follow our noses and see the world through different eyes. We let ourselves be touched by sounds and smells, stretch out our feelers and immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of today's park. Can you feel the former walls? What moods do we experience? Whether artistic, researching or as a sensual experience - walking itself is a dialogue with space and time. The walks each take 2 hours and cost 8 euros per person.

36. Internationales Stadtteilfest in Steilshoop

The International Neighborhood Festival has been a fixture in Steilshoop since 1989. With the exception of the two pandemic years, it brings the residents of the neighborhood together every year. Numerous institutions, initiatives, and dedicated individuals contribute to the organization, making the festival possible in all its diversity and vibrancy.

The focus is not only on celebrating together. The neighborhood festival also sends a clear message against xenophobia and racism, and in favor of openness and cultural diversity. It creates a place of encounter where the peaceful coexistence of different cultures and nations in Steilshoop becomes visible and tangible.

The festival gets its special character from the fact that it is designed by, with and for the people of Steilshoop.

The fascinating world of whisky comes to Hamburg's Elbe island, nestled between the northern and southern branches of the Elbe, at the Bürgerhaus-Wilhelmsburg cultural and event center. It's the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a weekend of refined enjoyment.

At the "Just Whisky Hamburg" whisky fair, the name says it all: to taste and savor the water of life in all its delightful flavors, whether it's single malt Scotch whisky, Irish pot still whiskey, whisky from Scandinavia, India, Taiwan, or local distilleries.

Our 30 renowned and expert exhibitors will present all these culinary delights. Eighteen bookable tastings, live music (on Saturdays), and a delicious selection of food complete the event.
