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.

    The home of the Poetry Slam in Hamburg.

    Gartenwissen @hortus - Giftpflanzen erkennen

    Speaker: Helge Masch - Why are some plants poisonous and how can they be identified?

    Poisonous plants unfortunately have no natural markings. It's impossible to tell from the outside whether a plant is poisonous or not. On this guided tour, participants will learn about plants that they should only look at and not touch or eat. No prior botanical knowledge is necessary.

    Note: A poisonous plant has never attacked a human!

    Hortus is the Latin word for garden. The courses entitled "Garden Knowledge @hortus" take place as in-person events in the Botanical Garden.
    A donation of two euros per person is requested (children free).
    Registration required!

    Gospel Train

    When Hollywood star Whoopi Goldberg filled cinemas in 1992 with the American blockbuster “Sister Act”, an international youth choir was formed shortly afterwards at the Goethe School Harburg (GSH). It was the seed for a music project that, 23 years after its foundation, has set new standards. Today, Gospel Train is synonymous with polished arrangements, innovative cover versions of world-famous hits and choral singing with a distinctive style. However, the project also stands for social commitment, compassion and a vibrant sense of community. Look forward to the “Harburg Hymn”, sophisticated arrangements, innovative cover versions of world-famous hits and choral singing with a distinctive style.
