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.

    19. Hamburger Kinder-Olympiade - Vorentscheid Walddörfer SV

    On September 6, 2025, the Walddörfer SV preliminary round for the 19th Hamburg Children's Olympics will take place as part of the Volksdorf district festival in the Volksdorf town center (square in front of the HASPA).

    From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., all children born between 2015 and 2020 can complete a fun sports course with climbing, running, and balancing. This requires speed, agility, and a bit of courage, as time is measured. The three best girls and boys in each of the three age groups will qualify for the grand finale of the Hamburg Children's Olympics on September 28 at the Alsterdorf Athletics Hall.

    Come along and join us! We look forward to seeing you!

    48h Jenfeld

    The “Network Music” from Jenfeld invites you to the neighborhood festival “48h Jenfeld” for the third time: From Friday, 6 p.m. to Sunday, 6 p.m., musicians of every culture, genre, professionalism and age group will perform in their immediate neighborhood.

    For 48 hours, music takes over in Jenfeld — a weekend full of diversity and cultural discoveries right on your doorstep. For example:

    Together with drum circle facilitator Kemal Sanlitürk, we start the festival with a rousing participatory drum circle at the row of shops on Charlottenburger Strasse. The healing continues with MATAiLO at the Jenfeld House, who creates a completely new genre and calls his music "medical". Behind it is Luis, a gifted musician and filmmaker from Jenfeld.

    The Haspa in JEN even opens on Saturday for the cheerful German pop of “JaKaNa”. Right around the corner in the Gläserne Werkstatt, the young musician EMILIA plays her debut and presents her music for the first time outside of her family and circle of friends.

    Anyone who wants to dance to Colombian rhythms should come to Jenfelder Au. Here, “Tambores del Diablo” bring lively cumbia sounds to the neighborhood. The youngest musician at the festival will be playing in the youth club on Rodigallee. “Nami45”, aged 12, has written his own lyrics under the direction of rap veteran Mr. Schnabel and performs them with impressive aplomb. An absolute insider tip!
