When a crowd of people laughs until they cry, gets moved, falls into deep thought, and repeatedly erupts into ecstatic applause - all in a single evening - there's only one explanation: Poetry Slam!

For over 15 years, this most exciting literary format in the world has called Krefeld home, and now the Südbahnhof has the honour of hosting these entertaining bouts. Come along and buckle up - be part of an evening you'll still be talking about weeks later.

At the legendary Pappalapapp Poetry Slam, the most sought-after stars of the scene go up against fresh, bold, hungry newcomers. And after 15 years, the rules remain tried and true: self-written texts, a 6-minute time limit, no props - and YOU, our wonderful audience, decide who takes the victory home after the epic battle of words.
