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.

    FILMRISS - Rock with German lyrics

    The band FILMRISS was founded in November 1985 by four school friends, initially as a four-piece band (guitar/vocals, drums, guitar, and keys). Founding members Gerhard Habedank (guitar), Lorenz Burchardt (keys), and Carsten Burchardt (drums) are still with the band today. Even back then, there was no discussion about the musical direction. A shared love of 70s/80s rock/hard rock, an admiration for prog rock, and the highest priority given to melody, coupled with the realization that one can best express oneself in one's native language, were early characteristics of the typical FILMRISS sound that continues to this day. Classics like "Südseite" and "Brief an Dich" emerged early on and remain integral parts of the live setlist to this day.

    After adding a lead singer in 1991, their first output saw the light of day in 1993. FILMRISS, released in the then-common cassette demo format, contained six songs and led to an increased live presence. After current lead singer Torsten Behnke switched from the mixing desk to the microphone in the spring of 1995, the band released their first CD, "In dieser Zeit," which sparked serious concert activity and resulted in appearances in all the well-known Hamburg clubs such as "Knust," "Logo," and "Rieckhof." "In dieser Zeit" also includes several live standards that are still played today ("Hinterher," "Gescheitelte Existenzen").

    FILMRISS also founded the band's own open-air concert, "Buden-Air," which was held from 1999 to 2007 on the grounds of the HM Club "Tipsy Apes" in Harburg. Arguably their most ambitious album to date, "Auf der Flucht," appeared in the fall of 1998. It followed a lyrical concept and was released in October 1998 at the sold-out "Knust" venue. "Kugel durch den Kopf," "Urbi et Orbi," and "Ciao Bella" are still played at every concert today. The first "real" line-up change took place in 2000. Due to professional reasons, the original bassist had to leave Hamburg, and FILMRISS had to go through their first auditions.

    We had musicians play... We...!!! But the solution was quickly found.

    It worked for 14 years, produced the album "Stille Wasser" (Still Waters), which was recorded in their own studio, as well as songs that are still played today, such as "Auf Wiedersehen", "Feuervogel" and many others, as well as a radio appearance on "ZUSA-Radio" in 2010. The last and third line-up change came in 2014 when the current bassist Frank "Willi" Willhausen found his way to FILMRISS and has kept the current line-up stable for 11 years, leading us into our fourth decade together. But most importantly: friendship, similar musical tastes, accepting each other's passions, having to find a new bassist every 14 years and being a team player.

    Then it will work out with the 40 years. :)

    Line-up:
    Torsten Behnke vocals
    Carsten Burchardt Drums
    Lorenz Burchardt Keyboards
    Gerhard Habedank guitar
    Frank Willhausen Bass

    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.

    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.
