Experience a poetry slam in Hamburg!

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.

Panoptikum - Wax Museum

Fascination between wax and reality A selfie with pop star Adele, the Queen and Angela Merkel? That is possible, in the Panoptikum in Hamburg. The Panoptikum in Hamburg St. Pauli was founded in 1879, making it the oldest Wax museum in Germany. The Faerber family has carried on this tradition for five generations - with dedication, care and great attention to detail. Because: Similarity to the original is no coincidence. But true art. Visitors experience this very special art on over 700 m² of exhibition space. The Panoptikum is a fascinating world of wax, in which reality and fantasy merge with each other. Currently more than 120 personalities from art and culture, sport and politics, society and history are shown - including many celebrities and real megastars. The best thing: The stars and starlets are not photo-shy at all and wait patiently for photos from the private paparazzi. Photography is in the exhibition expressly permitted, after all, selfies with the wax figures belong to everyones visit of the Panoptikum! In addition to current personalities such as singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, singer Helene Fischer, US President Donald Trump and Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, local celebrities such as Olivia Jones will also be present. Additionally, historical figures such as Henry VIII, Albert Einstein and Friedrich von Schiller are shown. A horror scene and a medical-anatomical cabinet complete the collection. The visit to the Panopticon lasts 45 to 60 minutes. A free audioguide provides visitors with information about the wax works on display in German and English.

PEKING op Platt

I once saw a Hamburg four-masted barque. The Peking is a four-masted steel barque and is one of the famous Flying P-Liners from the shipping company F. Laeisz. Built in 1911 at the Hamburg Warft Blohm & Voss, it sailed around Cape Horn near Chile in 1932 to transport the valuable raw material saltpeter to Germany. Every first Sunday of the month the history and present of the ship is told in Low German.HOW YOU GET YOUR TICKETPlease select the available start time from the calendar below.Up to four people can be registered per booking.HOW THE TOURS WORKPlease report to the ticket office directly in front of the PEKING 15 minutes before the start of the tour.The PEKING is currently not wheelchair accessible.

Philharmonic Chamber Music Recital

Gustav Mahler’s development and work as a composer focussed mainly on two musical genres: symphony and Lied (song). Again and again, the two very different forms approached each other, but the combination of the monumentality of the symphony and the intimacy of the song reached a hymn-like climax in »Das Lied von der Erde«. A compositional legacy based on texts by Hans Bethge that Mahler left to the world, knowing full well that his own death was already waiting for him at the next corner. Arnold Schönberg arranged Mahler’s final song for a chamber orchestra for the concerts of the »Verein für musikalische Privataufführungen«, a work that was finally completed by Rainer Riehn. The arrangement for chamber orchestra turned Mahler’s composition into a masterpiece of its own kind, in which the essence of the original sound is preserved through careful reduction and transformed into a new quality of characterisation and emotional experience.
