Meet new people in Heidelberg

New in Heidelberg, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Heidelberg, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.

Heidelberg is Germany's oldest university town and draws students from all over the world. The combination of its baroque castle, the Neckar promenade and the legendary old-town bar mile Untere Straße (the 'Untere' for short) makes Heidelberg one of Germany's liveliest student cities. From castle illuminations to international semester parties, the density of events here is second to none.

New in Heidelberg? Here is how to connect

Heidelberg has around 36,900 students at 4 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 Heidelberg, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Untere Straße. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Heidelberg. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
