New in Leipzig, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Leipzig — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Leipzig is the Berlin of Saxony — affordable, creative and bursting with energy. With 40,000 students and some of the lowest rents in Germany, Leipzig is a paradise for the younger generation. The Karli (Karl-Liebknecht-Straße), the Connewitz neighbourhood and the former industrial halls in the west host an alternative cultural scene that is second to none. Events in Leipzig take place in factory halls, on derelict lots and in historic shopping arcades.
