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.

Kids! Between Representation and Reality

KLAUS STAECK IN HAMBURG – Political posters – Five decades of art and politics

From February 26, 2026, iconic political posters by Klaus Staeck will be on display in public spaces throughout Hamburg. The

Hamburg poster competition Anfachen Award is dedicating an open-air retrospective to its patron.

To mark Staeck's 88th birthday, 77 poster motifs will be presented at three central locations: on the Kennedy Bridge, behind the main train station, and in front of City Hall. Themes such as housing shortages, social inequality, and environmental destruction run through the artist's work – many motifs were created decades ago and are still shockingly relevant today. The exhibition shows political poster art as a direct intervention in public space – controversial, clear, and democratic.

LOCATIONS On the Kennedy Bridge (Dammtor) · Behind the main train station (Schauspielhaus) · Next to the Reesendamm Bridge / in front of City Hall

OPENING

Thu, Feb. 26, 2026 · 4 p.m. · Kennedy Bridge

Speaker: Dr. Carsten Brosda,

Senator for Culture and Media

Exhibition dates: Feb. 26 – Mar. 8, 2026
