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: "Wie schläft der Wald?"

    We will tell the story "How Does the Forest Sleep?" by Peter Wohlleben and Carina Wohlleben using the Kamishibai method. In this storytelling theater, large picture cards are inserted into a wooden frame and shown to accompany the story.

    Although Fritzi should have been asleep long ago, the little wild boar girl isn't tired at all. And besides, it's not even properly dark yet! So Fritzi crawls out of the bramble thicket and toddles curiously into the woods. On her walk, Fritzi notices that every animal sleeps quite differently: The deer lies down alone in a hollow on the forest floor, the woodpecker yawns high up in the tree, and the bats slumber hanging upside down.

    No registration is required.

    KLAUS STAECK IN HAMBURG – Political Posters – Five Decades of Art and Politics

    Starting on 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 remain 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
