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.

    Moving Shadows

    Over a million enthusiastic viewers: The Mobilés with Moving Shadows have been in the global spotlight ever since they have always been on the podium at talent shows. No matter where they perform, they are celebrated enthusiastically. The media and spectators agree: a shadow theatre that puts everything in the shade. Our world concerns us all. That’s why the artists are continuing exactly where they have electrified their fans so far with their current programme »Our World!«: It is even more poetic, more creative, more astounding. It visualises both the sunny and dark sides of the world in an incredible combination of lightness, precision, poetry, comedy, dance, artistry, art and movement.

    In 2025 »Waltz King« Johann Strauss II would have celebrated his 200th birthday – and this must of course be celebrated in style outside his native Vienna as well. The NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra dedicates its New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day concerts to the man with the seemingly inexhaustible imagination. The North German orchestra thus follows the Viennese tradition of ringing in the New Year with a fireworks display of operetta melodies, waltzes and polkas.
