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.

    Brückentour

    Please note: It is possible that an event has been cancelled but is still listed on this website. For the latest information about cancelations or postponements please check the organizer’s website.

    Hamburg has about 2,500 bridges, of which you will get to know about 1 percent during this tour. However, there are some special features: a bridge that is wider than it is long, one on two levels and one that leads across nothing. See Hamburg's oldest bridge and the one that has been "stored" for several years. Adults, but also children have a fun and exciting tour.
