MÄLZESLAM in Regensburg: Poetry Slam in the Old Malthouse electrifies

Word battles, rhythm, applause: MÄLZESLAM ignites Regensburg's language stage

On January 9, 2026, the traditional MÄLZESLAM transforms the Old Malthouse into a literary experience: a poetry show with competitive character, audience voting, and the distinctive reading atmosphere that Regensburg's Slam has stood for for decades.

The magic of the spoken word

Here, the voice, the breath, the pulse matter. Between lyric and prose, punchline and pathos, linguistic art unfolds that remains approachable. The evening thrives on contrast: political punchlines next to delicate miniatures, performance next to finely crafted narratives.

Scene figures and local voices

Experienced slammers meet five local performers. This open dramaturgy creates a dynamic field where style, genre, and literary quality become immediately tangible. The audience becomes the jury – and the resonant surface for new texts.

Reading atmosphere in a historic venue

The Old Malthouse offers an intimate yet energetic stage: short distances, direct view, dense acoustics. The club room carries the texts – from whisper-quiet to furious – and makes the encounter with the authors physically perceptible.

Voices of the readers

The reactions from readers are clear: MÄLZESLAM excites literature lovers with wordplay and attitude.
