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.

    Gartenwissen @hortus für Kinder - Spannende Pflanzenwelt

    with Helge Masch - Wandsbek Botanical Garden -
    Gardening knowledge for children between 6 and 12 years old and their grandparents/parents in the Wandsbek Botanical Garden

    On this guided tour, participants will delve into the world of plants. Many fascinating things can be observed, including plants that move, those that eat animals or even other plants, and those that eventually strangle their supporting partners. Perhaps, during this joint expedition, plant predators might even be caught in the act. Are humans sometimes attacked by plants, too? With a little cooperation and a bit of common sense, all participants will, of course, complete the tour unscathed! The journey of discovery leads through the greenhouse and the outdoor area of the special garden.

    The guided tour takes place in the outdoor area of the Wandsbek Botanical Garden at Walddörferstraße 273.
    Hortus is the Latin word for garden. The courses entitled "Garden Knowledge @hortus" take place as in-person events in the Botanical Garden.
    A donation of two euros per person is requested (children free).
    Registration required!

    Gisèle Pelicot in conversation

    Gisèle Pelicot moved millions of people with her courage and determination in the »Avignon trial«. She earned worldwide recognition for her decision to waive her right to anonymity in the legal battle against her ex-husband Dominique and 50 other men who were convicted of countless sexual assaults against her. Her story and her appeal »The shame must shift sides« have resonated widely and led to numerous discussions and changes in the law.
    In conversation with Sandra Kegel, editor-in-chief of the arts section of the F.A.Z., and Michaela Wiegel, F.A.Z. correspondent in France, Gisèle Pelicot talks about how she wants to encourage people and give them new strength.

    The event will be held primarily in German. Gisèle Pelicot will speak in French and will be translated simultaneously. The event will be recorded and published on digital channels afterwards.
