Kiel is the state capital of Schleswig-Holstein, sits right on the fjord, and counts around 253,000 residents. With about 34,000 students at its university, university of applied sciences and art academy, a young scene shapes life between the water, the shipyards and the Holtenauer Straße. Nightlife unfolds along the Bergstraße and in the Alte Mu, while in summer the Kieler Woche draws the whole city down to the fjord.

New in Kiel? Here is how to connect
Kiel has around 33,900 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 we are building S'Up. Instead of sitting alone in Kiel, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Bergstraße. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Kiel. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
