Meet new people in Kassel
New in Kassel, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Kassel, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Kassel sits in the heart of northern Hesse, counts around 197,000 residents and, with roughly 22,000 students, is shaped above all by the Universität Kassel and the art academy. The Nordstadt around the cultural centre Schlachthof, the bar mile Königsstraße and the Vorderer Westen form the axis for concerts, parties and student hangouts. Every five years the documenta turns the entire city into a stage for contemporary art, and in between, the Bergpark water features and the old-town festival keep the calendar full.

New in Kassel? Here is how to connect
Kassel has around 22,200 students at 2 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 Kassel, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Kulturzentrum Schlachthof. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Kassel. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
