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.

    Familienführung - Der Hafen für Kinder

    Why are the merchants' houses built in the water? What is stored in the warehouses of the Speicherstadt? What is an English toilet, and how does the huge ship get into dry dock?

    We answer these and many other questions about the port on our varied city tour, starting at the historic Deichstraße and ending at the Landungsbrücken piers on the Elbe River. Along the way, we'll see the Speicherstadt warehouse district, HafenCity, and the Elbphilharmonie concert hall, and visit the Old Elbe Tunnel. We'll illustrate the diverse world of the port with pictures, spices, and stories.

    A guided city tour including a short ferry ride for children (6-12 years) accompanied by an adult (HVV ticket required).

    FEMMETOP goes HAMBURG!

    FEMME TOP goes Hamburg!

    Berlin, brace yourself—FemmeTop is coming to Hamburg!

    The queerest, loudest and most colourful party, known from Berlin’s legendary SchwuZ, is celebrating its Hamburg premiere in the heart of St. Pauli on 19 September 2026. As the Reeperbahn Festival slowly winds down, the party at Bahnhof Pauli is just getting started—with pop anthems, ’90s bangers, 2000s trash, tomorrow’s hits and a generous dose of queer extravagance.

    Leading the night is FemmeTop founder Miss Ivanka T. Originally from Austria, she is one of Berlin’s most successful drag queens, captivating audiences far beyond the capital as a DJ, host, performer and the dazzling face of the party series.

    Together with Berlin SchwuZ resident Ivo Bischoff, she is bringing FemmeTop’s unmistakable sound to the banks of the Elbe. From Y2K and hyperpop to unforgettable queer anthems, Miss Ivanka T. and Ivo will each serve up a two-hour set.

    Representing Hamburg is Fabi Bayona: based in St. Pauli, the DJ will bring electronic club energy and authentic neighbourhood vibes to this special night.

    And because FemmeTop is more than just a dance floor, you can look forward to three spectacular shows throughout the night. Loud, glamorous, surprising—and guaranteed to be anything but subtle.

    Come dressed in your best looks, bring your favourite people and celebrate with us until well into the Hamburg morning.

    Dress to impress—this is your party!
