Billstedt is called ‘Billsteed’ in Low German – not everyone knows this, but there are far more fans of Low German than you might think. After all, this neighbourhood is home not only to people from 130 different countries, but also to true-blue Hamburgers who speak ‘Hamburger Platt’, a distinctive form of Low German. On Sunday 1 November, the ‘Cultures of Our City – Diversity on Stage’ series of events will be dedicated to the iconic Low German language. Together with the Billstedt Citizens’ Association, the Kultur Palast Foundation presents the actress Sandra Keck, known from the Ohnsorg Theatre, with her programme ‘Sabbel nich – Sing!’. Musical interludes in Platt – it’s set to be a laugh and a great opportunity to brush up on your own Low German. Stefan Hiller will be on the piano. And: Stephan Grühn, Sandra Keck’s husband, will also be joining in. He’ll be showing off his tap-dancing skills on the dance floor.   

With the project “Kulturen unserer Stadt – Diversity on Stage”, the Kultur Palast Foundation is presenting a twelve-part series of events in the Billstedt district. The aim is to introduce different communities, showcase their culture and create spaces for people to come together. The project showcases the individual communities in a stage show, provides information about their traditions and highlights their art with a focus on a liveable future in an urban area home to people from 130 nations. The project aims to promote social cohesion and raise awareness of cultural diversity. Visitors will enjoy a convivial time together and experience the individual communities in all their diversity within the neighbourhood, learn more about one another and get to know each other. 

The project is funded by the Neighbourhood Fund of the Hamburg-Mitte district.
The Low German Evening is a collaboration between the Kultur Palast Foundation and the Billstedt Citizens’ and Local Association of 1904 e.V.
