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.

    Flohdom Horner Rennbahn

    Browsing where the horses usually run: One of Hamburg's largest flea markets takes place every Saturday at the racecourse in the Horn district of Hamburg. Spanning 20,000 square meters, an area the size of three football fields, you'll find everything a junk shopper could want, from household goods to curiosities and electronics. The selection is vast, with vendors offering both second-hand and new goods. The area is covered, allowing the market to take place year-round. When the weather's nice, you can also haggle and bargain outside.

    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.

    Florian Heinisch / Piano Recital

    To mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, Florian Heinisch has put together a programme that emphasises the deep-rooted connections between the USA and Europe. The programme is intended to send a signal to reach out to one another again and build bridges – a fundamental prerequisite for a free, democratic society. In addition to composers who were born in America and come from very different backgrounds, the programme also features Bartók and Schönberg, who found a new home there during the Third Reich or who came from other countries and made America their home. The programme is intended to inspire listeners to explore the foundations of American independence: freedom, tolerance and openness.
