Meet new people in Chemnitz
New in Chemnitz, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Chemnitz, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
With around 246,000 residents, Chemnitz is Saxony's third-largest city and was European Capital of Culture in 2025, with some 8,000 students, most of them at TU Chemnitz. Around the Brühl-Boulevard (rebuilt into a university quarter) and in the Gründerzeit districts of Kaßberg and Sonnenberg, a young scene is taking shape out of shared student flats, late-night shops and clubs. Those who study here gather at the Schloßteich, party at the Atomino or head to the festivals in the city centre.

New in Chemnitz? Here is how to connect
Chemnitz has around 8,100 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 Chemnitz, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Brühl-Boulevard. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Chemnitz. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
