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.

    400 Jahre Reeperbahn - Teil 2

    Everyone knows the Reeperbahn, but the story behind its name is unfamiliar to many! To mark the 400th anniversary of the Reeperbahn(s), the Museum of Hamburg History, in cooperation with local historian Eva Decker and renowned city historian Dominik Kloss, is offering a program dedicated to the origins and forerunners of the St. Pauli district: what role did the ropewalkers and their ropewalks play over the past 400 years, and how did they shape St. Pauli? What traces of their history can still be found today in the district and its eastern neighbors? The tour is divided into two 90-minute parts, taking place on consecutive Sundays. Alternating between the first and last two centuries since 1626, the tour explains the reasons for the repeated relocation of this unique craft outside the city walls and the development of the St. Pauli suburb – always following in the footsteps of the ropemakers and their guild, as well as the milieu in which they lived and worked. Note: Tours must be booked individually. Duration: 90 minutes. Cost: €10 per person (€5 reduced). Meeting point Part 1: In front of the Museum of Hamburg History, Holstenwall 24, 20355 Hamburg (end of Millerntor Guardhouse). Meeting point Part 2: In front of the Millerntor Guardhouse, Millerntorplatz 20, 20359 Hamburg (end of Beatles Square). Recommended for adults and young people aged 14 and over. Here you can find Part 1 of the tour.

    AC/DYNAMITE: Explosive Tribute to a Legend

    AC/DYNAMITE – the name says it all! With the unleashed energy and legendary guitar riffs of their idols, five Hamburg lads deliver the high-voltage rock 'n' roll that made AC/DC famous. LET THERE BE ROCK AC/DYNAMITE are undoubtedly among the few tribute bands that come closest to the sound of the original. Thanks in no small part to the voice of singer Tim Dammann, this Hamburg group is one of the most convincing cover bands in the country. Naturally, their setlist includes all the important songs, from the early Bon Scott era in the mid-70s to the Australians' latest album.

    The band AC/DYNAMITE doesn't need costumes or elaborate pyrotechnics to put on a show that inspires spontaneous air guitar solos from the audience. These authentic northerners have not only been an integral part of the Hamburg music scene for years, but are themselves passionate AC/DC fans, and their infectious enthusiasm is evident to the audience both visually and audibly.

    Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah – Residual Sky Under Contamination

    A new generation of photographic artists is currently engaging with analog color photography in an experimental and expansive way, exploring its sensitive surfaces and activating its emotional frequencies. In this process, the darkroom is more than just a place of photographic production: it becomes a space of reflection where experiences, relationships, and memories are processed, transformed, and made tangible while still latently visible.
