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.

    Hertha handverlesen - Szenische Führung

    Formerly a coffee sorter, now a toilet attendant. Hertha isn't at a loss for words when she recounts her life, which has taken her from the Speicherstadt warehouse district to the aforementioned little town, where she maintains a strict regime: "I have to go back there wet!" From the post-war period to the hard work on the sorting floors, where the green coffee was sorted by hand, to the present life of a retiree, Hertha strings together anecdotes and stories with an unmistakably North German accent. - A staged tour with actress Kerstin Poetting: humorous, but with a serious undertone.
