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 251,000 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.
