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.

    New Mobility Days 2026

    Hamburg City becomes a mobility event area

    The New Mobility Days in Hamburg are like a mini IAA Mobility, using Hamburg City as the event area from Saturday, May 23, to Saturday, May 30, 2026.

    In the heart of Hamburg City, the six showrooms of electric car brands will feature micromobility, ranging from e-bikes to e-motorcycles, for one week.

    The Camping Coffee Cafe is also participating as an additional partner.

    Everyone can experience the spectrum of small and large e-mobility in Hamburg.

    You can find all information and an overview map at:

    Micromobility Move

    As an oping for the New Mobility Days 2026, the Micromobility Move will take place again on the first day of the New Mobility Days.

    Everyone is welcome to join with any vehicle smaller than a regular car, powered either electrically or by muscle power:

    From bicycles, e-bikes, cargo bikes, and velomobiles, to e-scooters, speed pedelecs, e-mopeds, e-motor scooters, and e-motorcycles, all the way to electric microcars.

    Special feature: Even otherwise in Germany not legally publicly useable small e-vehicles like monowheels, e-skateboards and onewheels are legally permitted to participate.

    Nichts Neues - Besser Bauen mit Bestand

    For the 11th Hamburg Architecture Summer 2026, we are bringing the exhibition “Nothing New – Better Building with Existing Structures” from the German Architecture Museum (DAM) to Hamburg together with Architects 4 Future and the network PIA – Women in Architecture eV.

    We don't just show the exhibition – we take it further.

    Because building within existing structures is not a niche topic for experts, but a central future issue for our city that affects everyone.

    Instead of glossy models behind glass, we offer models that you can build yourself.

    Instead of keeping your distance: Participate.

    Instead of just looking: Try it out, rebuild it, rethink it.

    Projects such as the Gängeviertel, PARKS (Alster-Bille-Elbe PARKS), the renovation of Kampnagel, and the Gröninger Hof showcase and discuss Hamburg's perspectives. The exhibition thus becomes a local inventory.

    A diverse program of interactive workshops, tours, visits, and lectures will accompany the event. Topics such as circular construction, craftsmanship, social issues in the construction industry, and sustainable urban development will not be considered separately, but rather interconnected.

    In this way, the exhibition becomes a space where generations, professions, and perspectives come together and ask the following questions:

    How can we continue building when we already have everything?

    The exhibition was curated by Katharina Böttger, Jonas Malzahn and Mathias Schnell (studio central) and extended for Urbaneo by Paulina Krebs, Maire Cordts, Ina Möller, Heidi Fletscher, Adrian Ebert, and Tanja Willhalm (Urbaneo, PIA - Women in Architecture eV and Architects 4 Future Hamburg).

    An event as part of the Hamburg Architecture Summer 2026.

    Nur ein Tag – Blots een Dag

    Wild Boar and Fox watch as a sweet little mayfly sees the light of day. Full of energy and a thirst for adventure, she already has a packed schedule, fresh from her hatching: she wants to get an apprenticeship, get married, and learn foreign languages. Wild Boar and Fox quickly realize that their new friend is unaware of her short life. But a mayfly is, after all, a one-day fly. The two try everything they can to prevent her from finding out and give her the most wonderful, one-time day of her life. In doing so, they find themselves in some rather precarious situations.
