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.

    Special exhibition: Libenský & Brychtová – Pioneers of Modern Glass Art

    With the works of Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová, the Glass Museum presents two outstanding artistic personalities and pioneers of Czech glass sculpture.

    Through their innovative approach, Libenský and Brychtová established a new perception of glass as a sculptural material, which they established at the highest level with their diverse works. In 1958, they were the first artists to present molten glass sculptures at the Expo in Brussels. Since then, glass has increasingly been recognized not only as utility glass or decorative handicrafts, but as a full-fledged medium of fine art.

    Brychtová experimented early on with the melting of glass into molds and transferred Libenský's two-dimensional designs into three-dimensional form with the help of clay models. This resulted in sculptural works that redefined light, structure and materiality. Libenský and Brychtová were concerned with geometric shapes and optical effects. Light became a central design element: it penetrates the glass bodies and creates different colour intensities and spatial depth through negative modelling.

    Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová are among the most visionary personalities of modern glass art – pioneers who fundamentally changed the world's understanding of this medium and whose collaboration resulted in works that contributed significantly to the development of modern glass aesthetics.

    St. Pauli Nachtmarkt

    St. Pauli Night Market – The weekly market in the heart of the Reeperbahn

    The St. Pauli Night Market is no ordinary weekly market. Located right in the heart of the Reeperbahn on Spielbudenplatz, its late opening hours reflect not only the unique atmosphere but also the general shopping habits of our time.

    This isn't just a place to do your weekly shopping at local shops; it's also a meeting point every Wednesday after work, where people gather to enjoy a delicious meal together. During the summer months, the container bars in the beer garden on Spielbudenplatz serve visitors refreshing drinks. And from April onwards, there are daily live concerts on the small stage. Best of all: admission is free!

    St. Pauli unvergessen - Reliquien der Reeperbahn

    Join the creators of the "Museum without Walls" to explore rare artifacts from the history of the Reeperbahn, scattered throughout the district. Experience St. Pauli up close.

    This tour is part of the "Places of Things" project and a walking tour through the "Museum Without Walls." It leads to historically significant objects in unusual locations. In the bar and the garage, at the hairdresser's or in front of the "red-light district" window; everywhere there are things to discover that tell a story – and on this tour, they are brought to life: A set of cutlery bridges the gap to the "Roaring Twenties," a tea service to a famous prostitute. Germany's most famous gas station sign becomes a "panoramic window" into Hamburg's urban planning from the 1940s to the present day, and ten centimeters of wood become witnesses to a world-renowned musical career. The tour begins with refreshments (non-alcoholic) at the 1a-Bar in the ARCOTEL Onyx – precisely where the "Trichter" entertainment venue marked the entrance to the Reeperbahn for around 130 years. On display are: an original Höpfner bass guitar from Paul McCartney and other Beatles memorabilia, original erotic advertising panels by local artist Erwin Ross, who also painted the entrance scene to the "Zur Ritze" bar, the Mona Lisa of the Reeperbahn - "DOMENICA" the painting by Donna Sani Sue, an original painting by Klaus Barkowsky, known as the pimp of the century "The Handsome Klaus".
