Knotenpunkt Hamburg
Shibari project that teaches a numbered module curriculum on Monday evenings and hosts rope and play jams on Fridays or Sundays, plus guest-teacher and safety workshops. It also offers trade-for-prints rope photography; the site was last updated in August 2026.
Knotenpunkt Hamburg is a shibari group that combines teaching with play and creative events. Its website presents it as a place to learn rope techniques under guidance, to take part in events with room for fun and eroticism, and to have artistic photos taken. It meets at Studio Eastside in Hamburg. The site does not say when the group started.
Four people run it. Benignus, an organizer and instructor, lists workshops and private lessons with Shibari Bremen, Kazami Ranki, Osada Steve and Yagami Ren, teaches the workshops and also shoots rope photos on a time-for-prints basis. Bluebird, also an organizer and instructor, names courses with Yagami Ren, Kazami Ranki and RopEmotion and focuses on community-building events. Peymalika began rope at Knotenpunkt about three years before the page was written and also models. Sheeeee describes shibari as a mindful, meditative practice for both partners and offers to answer newcomers’ questions.
Teaching runs as a numbered series of modules on Monday evenings, each planned for three to four hours with breaks. The autumn 2026 dates show the range: karada with its history and background, semenawa and predicament ideas, hand ties in front of the chest, two sessions on transitions (the second building a sequence as a group), agura with a suspension test, hogtie variants, Ayatorinawa and foot ties. A one-hour taster for couples, “First Steps into Rope”, was set for 6 December 2026.
Alongside the modules the group holds rope and play jams on Fridays or Sundays, workshops with national and international guest teachers, safety workshops for rope models, community evenings such as rope DIY and “Pizza und Seile”, group trips and some events without rope. On 22 November 2026 a paramedic was scheduled to lead a safety workshop on decision-making, warning signs and emergencies in BDSM and shibari.
Sign-up works through event pages on the JoyClub platform, where a free account is enough, or through the site’s contact form. The group also announces dates on a Telegram channel. The site is in German; its news section was last updated on 13 August 2026.
