New in Kiel, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Kiel — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Kiel is the state capital of Schleswig-Holstein, sits right on the fjord, and counts around 251,000 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.

Kiel has around 34,000 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 Kiel, you see what is happening near you today, join spontaneous events or start your own — from a casual meetup to Bergstraße. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Kiel.
