Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Field Commander C.

Field Commander C. is a tribute to the great Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen and one of the most impressive Cohen live shows Germany has to offer.

In addition to the large formation, which is extensively dedicated to the legendary tour of 1979 and giving goose bumps and standing ovations lasting several minutes in renowned concert halls throughout minutes of standing ovations, Rolf Ableiter’s Field Commander C. is now embarking on a more intimate search for traces. »Leonard Cohen’s Early Works – the Roots of Hallelujah« is the title of the new programme.

Anyone who studies Leonard Cohen cannot avoid the song »Hallelujah«. But if you want to understand how this incredible song came into being, you have to the early work of Cohen. Songs like »Suzanne«, »Bird on the Wire«, »So Long Marianne«, »Famous Blue Raincoat« are some of Cohen’s most famous works alongside »Hallelujah« and were all written during the creative period of the first four albums.

Guests can expect an evening full of melancholy, poetry, virtuosic joy of playing and stories centred around his magnificent early work – sensitively interpreted with guitar, violin, cello, organ and accordion.

Fischmarkt am Donnerstag

Between the Große Elbstraße and the Altonaer Fischmarkt there are all kinds of culinary delights to be discovered on Thursdays too. Local residents and guests can buy fresh and delicious food here.

Fischmarkt Hamburg

The fish market in Hamburg is legendary and almost a must for every visitor to Hamburg: Since 1703, pretty much everything that isn't nailed down has been traded here.

Every Sunday morning the fish market attracts visitors to the Elbe. Everyone will find what they are looking for, as almost everything is sold here: from lush fruit baskets, fresh fish or plastic bags full of sausages to porcelain, textiles and entire jungles of green plants.

Flamenco y Tango Pasión

Flamenco and Tango Argentino united in one poetic night... Both arts – at the same time light and difficult, comprehensible and enigmatic, modern and timeless – alternate, touch each other, merge with each other. The thirteen artists seduce their audience with the raw beauty of flamenco and touch their innermost being with the yearning melodies of Tango Argentino. Authentic and very personal, they take their audience on a journey through the two centuries-old and yet eternally young arts of flamenco and tango.

Flat Files and Paper Pies. New Acquisitions and Information Graphics on the Graphics and Poster Collection

Posters and graphic design holdings are referred to as “flat works” in the museum. Around 400,000 of these two-dimensional items are stored in the flat file cabinets of the Graphics and Poster Collection. In the last four years, more than 3500 have been added, 120 of which are on display in the exhibition. Using pie charts and other information graphics, we visualise the growing collection in all its variety and provide an insight into what goes on behind the scenes: what are the defining features of the Graphics and Poster Collection? How does something become part of the collection? How are these decisions made – and what happens next? Join us for a critical yet playful exploration of these aspects, learn more about the challenges of expanding the collection while being mindful of diversity concerns, and enjoy the works and infographics.

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.
