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.

    Kamishibai - Geschichten für kleine Leser

    Every second Tuesday, we tell a new adventure story using Kamishibai. In this storytelling theater, large picture cards are inserted into a wooden frame and shown to accompany the story. This allows children to experience language and images simultaneously and, through active participation, to explore the plot at their own pace.

    Kamishibai: "Ganz schön langweilig"

    We are telling the story "Quite Boring" by Henrike Wilson using Kamishibai. In this storytelling theater, large picture cards are inserted into a wooden frame and shown to accompany the story.

    Deeply disappointed, the little bear wanders through the forest: no one has time to play with him. Finally, he has no other choice: he must entertain himself. Without any plan, he lies down on the ground, waits for a while, and listens to the sounds of the forest. Then, suddenly, a new world opens up to him…

    No registration is required.

    Kamishibai: "Jim ist mies drauf"

    We are telling the story "Jim is in a bad mood" by Suzanne Lang using Kamishibai. In this storytelling theater, large picture cards are inserted into a wooden frame and shown to accompany the story.

    Jim is in a bad mood: The sun is too bright, the sky too blue, and the bananas taste too sweet! "Maybe you're in a bad mood," his friend Nick suggests. But Jim is certain: "I'm NOT in a bad mood!" When his friends try to cheer him up—"Jump up and down!", "Dance!", or "Take a nap!"—he storms off angrily. Nothing seems to help. Could it be that he's just having a bad day?

    KARAOKE NIGHT AT LE ROJIN – LOUNGE VIBES, LOUD VOICES

    In 2026, singing will be back. Relaxed. Stylish. And exactly how you want it.

    Le Rojin will once again become a karaoke lounge: soft lighting, comfortable bar stools, drinks within reach –

    and a microphone that requires only one thing: courage or good spirits. Both are sufficient.

    Our hosts speak German and English.

    What to expect:

    Karaoke without pressure – for professionals, first-timers, and the courageous

    Lounge atmosphere to sit back, sing along, and party

    Songs from pop to party, from heartbreak to demolition

    An audience that parties – even if you don't sing yourself

    Top sound and proven technology from Hamburger Karaoke Events

    Want to sing? Great.

    Just want to listen, clap, dance, or enjoy drinks? Perfect.

    No one is an extra here—everyone is part of the evening.
