Poetry Slam Prenzlau

Poetry Slam - a format that grew out of dusty Berlin hipster bars in pre-pandemic times - has long since made its way onto Brandenburg's cultural stages. With far less craft beer and DJs, but plenty of honest verse and laugh-out-loud comedy, word artists from across Germany take on local up-and-coming talent.

Since 2019, the Kiezpoeten have been running Poetry Slam Prenzlau in collaboration with the city library - outdoors in summer. The stage is open to anyone, and more than once a seasoned Berlin championship contender has been beaten by a first-time performer. The rules: 6 minutes, original texts, no costumes or props - beyond that, there are no restrictions on content or style.
