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.

    Flohschanze

    Every Saturday, the area in front of the cattle slaughterhouse transforms into a cult flea market. Locals, tourists, onlookers, bargain hunters, and collectors flock to the "Flohschanze" (Flea Market) to browse, haggle, or simply immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere. Afterwards, they can enjoy their newly acquired treasures over coffee and waffles at one of the nearby cafes. The flea market is partially covered and therefore takes place year-round.

    Führung durch die Ausstellung Kinder, Kinder!

    Our public guided tours take you on a minimum 30-minute walk through the current exhibition "Children, Children!". Whether as a creative lunch break, a cultural after-work event, or a relaxing weekend visit – we have a suitable tour for everyone!

    To mark the exhibition "Children, Children!", we invite you on a journey through the centuries of depictions of children – from the Renaissance to contemporary works. Discover how images of children once represented claims to power and dominion, and how the understanding of childhood has changed: from the "little adult" to idealized representations and on to genuine snapshots of play, belonging, and family. Be surprised by the stories behind the images and learn how deeply reality and representation are intertwined.
