New in Dresden, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Dresden — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Dresden is the capital of Saxony on the river Elbe and, with around 37,000 students, a university hub shaped by TU Dresden. The Äußere Neustadt is considered one of Germany's densest bar and club districts, while the Elbwiesen become an open-air meeting spot in summer. On top of that comes an unusually active student-club scene that has earned Dresden a reputation as the capital of Germany's student clubs.

Dresden has around 37,000 students at 5 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.
