With around 37,000 students across its universities, Bielefeld is the largest city in the Ostwestfalen-Lippe region and a genuine higher-education hub on the edge of the Teutoburg Forest. The heart of student life beats in the alternative Bielefeld-West around Siegfriedplatz, while the station quarter concentrates the city's club and nightlife scene.

New in Bielefeld? Here is how to connect
Bielefeld has around 37,400 students at 4 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 Bielefeld, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Siegfriedplatz (Siggi). No pressure, no dating, just real people from Bielefeld. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
