Tilman Döring

Tilman Döring (*1989, Leipzig) is a spoken word poet, presenter and musician. He has been performing on stages throughout the German-speaking world since 2004 and skilfully delights audiences with his densely rhymed texts and subtle humour. With victories and prizes at countless poetry slams, several final participations in German and national championships and television appearances (including ARTE, ZDF, WDR), he is considered one of the most versatile and successful poetry slammers on the German-speaking scene. He studied creative writing and cultural journalism at the Literaturinstitut Hildesheim, where he now also works as a lecturer in the field of stage literature. He gives writing and performance workshops at schools and moderates.

In 2018, the German-language poetry slam culture was named a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage on his initiative.
