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.

    Flohmarkt und Stadtteiltreff im BarmbekBasch

    The flea market and neighborhood gathering takes place around BarmbekBasch every first Sunday of the month, from 10 am to 3 pm. Besides numerous vendor stalls and the chance to discover a treasure or two, the flea market offers a friendly opportunity to chat with neighbors.

    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.
