Poetry Slam

Word art on Hamburg's stages.

Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg stands for art and culture through and through. And over the years, poetry slams have gained a firm place in Hamburg's cultural programme. Those who want to see young lyrical talents have the opportunity to do so in Hamburg almost every week. The young poet scene meets here regularly on stage to compete and inspire the audience. And with the "artistic duels", the city even has its own unofficial championship. Here, you'll find an overview of current events and the most frequent venues.

    What can you expect? Great art, stimulating conversations, mulled wine, a raffle and homemade biscuits.

    Come along — with or without a red nose. We look forward to seeing you!

    Opening: Saturday, 6 December '25, 5 to 9 p.m.

    Exhibition: until 31 January 2026,

    Sex, Stories und Kiezgeflüster... Die Tour über die ihr noch lange sprecht.

    KiezSecrets isn't a typical city tour—it's my very own personal story. I created this concept myself, exclusively by me, without copy and paste, without any frills.

    I'm a former dominatrix and worked as a sex worker for 18 years – seven of those years in various studios throughout Germany. At some point, the moment came when I knew: These stories had to come out. Real. Unadulterated. Straight from the neighborhood.

    Thus, KiezSecrets was born – a unique tour. A tour that delves deep beneath the surface. This isn't about sights or tourist anecdotes – it's about real life, real experiences, and stories that are never told otherwise.

    What you can expect:

    On my tour, you'll meet real locals, not actors. You'll have the chance to chat with my former colleagues – real sex workers who are willing to answer your questions honestly. How does the business really work? What's myth and what's reality? Want to know what goes on behind the doors of Herbertstrasse? I'll tell you – unfiltered and direct.

    No secrets. No taboos. No show.

    I answer every question on every tour – honestly, directly, without censorship. No one else does that. I want you to not just see the neighborhood, but understand it.

    KiezSecrets isn't just a tour—it's an encounter with a slice of life that many only know by hearsay. And you're right in the middle of it.
