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.

Flohmarkt und Stadtteiltreff im BarmbekBasch

The flea market and district meeting around BarmbekBasch takes place every first Sunday of the month, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. In addition to many sales tables and the opportunity to discover one or two treasures, the flea market invites you to have a friendly chat with the neighborhood.

Flohschanze

Every Saturday the area in front of the cattle slaughterhouse becomes a cult flea market. Residents, tourists, onlookers, hunters and gatherers make a pilgrimage towards the “Flohschanze” to browse, haggle or simply throw themselves into the fray. You can then enjoy your looted treasures with coffee and waffles in one of the surrounding cafés. The flea market is partially covered and therefore takes place all year round.

Flowers Forever. Flowers in art and culture

With their splendor and diversity flowers have always captivated us. We attribute great symbolic power to them – whether in mythology, religion, art or politics. In earlier centuries, flowers were coveted status symbols, today they are traded globally as a mass product. Currently, the flower is coming into focus as a fragile yet indispensable component of our global eco-system. With objects from art, design, fashion and natural science, Flowers Forever offers a fascinating, elaborately staged tour through the cultural history of flowers from antiquity to the present day.
