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.

    Winterdeck auf dem Spielbudenplatz

    Even in this somewhat different year, look forward to spending relaxing pre-Christmas hours in the heart of the Reeperbahn.
    The Winter Deck on the stage in front of the Operettenhaus is our personal winter wonderland. Everything the autumn-battered heart desires to immerse yourself in the depths of pre-Christmas bliss can be found right here.
    Who said cocktails are only successful on Caribbean cruises?
    Every year, we present new, hot creations on the winter deck, warming up chilly neighborhood swarmers from the inside out. We won't mention the fireplace, the cozy seating, the floating Christmas trees, and the best mulled apple wine in the world. Otherwise, it would sound like an advertisement.
