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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Foodsharing cook-along

    Food-sharing cook-along Cooking, serving and enjoying rescued food together

    Rescuing food together, having a cup of tea, chopping and enjoying
    Far too much food ends up in the bin! That works out at around 75 kg per person per year. Yet much of it is still perfectly edible; with fruit and veg in particular, it’s often just small blemishes that make them seem unsuitable for sale.

    We’ll cook up something delicious together using rescued food and enjoy it with everyone who wants to join in.
    We’ll also be setting up a pop-up distribution point – sharing food fairly – and providing information on food sharing.
    It’s all taking place outdoors in the fresh air, at our mobile cooking stand in the car park in front of the Kultur Palast. Come rain or shine!
    Everyone is invited to join in with the chopping and cooking, or simply to drop by to enjoy the food, have a chat and find out more. Come and see what’s possible when it comes to living more sustainably and economically, whilst also looking after your own wellbeing.
    Generally, the food-sharing cook-along takes place on the third Saturday of the month, though there may occasionally be changes to the date – as is the case in March and April, when it will be held on the second Saturday of each month.


    We look forward to seeing you there!

    Participation is free; donations are welcome
