Meet new people in Bamberg
New in Bamberg, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Bamberg, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Bamberg is a UNESCO World Heritage town in Upper Franconia with around 77,000 residents and roughly 11,000 students, who shape a large part of the cityscape. Life plays out above all in the Inselstadt around the Sandstraße, where pubs, cafés and most of the going-out scene are packed in, while the Hainpark on the Regnitz becomes the central meeting point in summer. Between traditional breweries, live concerts and the annual Sandkerwa, this small town has a dense, tightly knit student life.

New in Bamberg? Here is how to connect
Bamberg has around 10,600 students at 2 universities, in theory the perfect setup to meet new people. And yet the start in a new city often feels lonely: the uni groups have long since formed, and spontaneous meetups die in endless WhatsApp groups where nobody ever commits.
That is exactly why we are building S'Up. Instead of sitting alone in Bamberg, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Sandstraße. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Bamberg. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
