New in Bielefeld, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Bielefeld — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
With around 40,000 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. Add to that the Sparrenburg castle looking out over the rooftops, hiking trails through the Teutoburg Forest and city festivals like the Leineweber-Markt.
