New in Duisburg, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Duisburg — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Duisburg sits at the confluence of the Rhine and the Ruhr and, with around half a million residents, is one of the largest cities in the Ruhr region. The Duisburg campus of the University of Duisburg-Essen brings roughly 16,000 students into the adjacent district of Neudorf, which has grown into a student quarter full of cheap pubs and clubs. Studying here means moving between lectures, bars at the Innenhafen and open-air events set against the old industrial backdrop of the Landschaftspark Nord.

Duisburg has around 18,000 students at 3 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 S'Up exists. Instead of sitting alone in Duisburg, you see what is happening near you today, join spontaneous events or start your own — from a casual meetup to Neudorf. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Duisburg.
