New in Darmstadt, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Darmstadt — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Darmstadt is Hesse's City of Science, with over 170,000 residents and around 44,000 students, shaped above all by TU Darmstadt and Hochschule Darmstadt. The Martinsviertel with its dense strip of pubs, the Großer Woog bathing lake in the heart of the city, and clubs like the Goldene Krone define student life. Studying here means kicking off the semester at the Schlossgrabenfest, Hesse's biggest inner-city music festival.
