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.

    Triff Robin Hood! (ab 5 Jahre)

    On the trail of injustice

    Robin Hood is here! That jolly fellow in green tights, who roams the woods with his bow and arrow, taking money from the rich to give to the poor. He's been doing it for 700 years – and he's still got his hands full. Who will he target today? Great fun for rich and poor alike…

    Kirschkern Compes & Co. | Performance: Sabine Dahlhaus + Monika Els | Direction, Stage & Costume Design: Marcel Weinand | Dramaturgy: Judith Compes | Composition, Lyrics & Musical Direction: Eva Engelbach

    As part of the Hamburg Children's Theatre Meeting 2026, the festival of Hamburg's independent children's theatres.

    Funded by the Hamburg Authority for Culture and Media.

    On this special tour you will learn a lot about Hamburg's "underground". Why is the subway in Hamburg called Hochbahn? Why was mail sometimes transported faster in the past than it is today?

    Registration required at www.stadterlebnis.hamburg or 0157-50171259.

    Twinkle Concert M / BALLaden

    What do balls, wheels and balloons have in common? They are all round, and they can all easily be converted into musical instruments! In »BALLads«, even the music revolves on its own axis: in rondos, waltzes and endless melodies from the baroque to the modern era.
    »Twinkle Concerts« is the series of children’s concerts at the Elbphilharmonie that brings the most successful productions from all over Europe to Hamburg. At times funny and playful, at others thoughtful and reflective, the series introduces children to the world of music in a special and unique way. In addition, the popular Elfi Baby Concerts for expectant mothers and parents with babies up to one year of age continue to take place at the Elbphilharmonie and in many Hamburg districts.
