New in Mainz, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Mainz — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Mainz, the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate, is a notably young city on the Rhine, with around 36,500 students across several universities. The tight, pub-filled old town around Augustinerstraße, the riverbank and the Volkspark shape student life between lectures, wine stands and open-air events. Studying here means knowing the blend of carnival city, wine culture and a lively concert and bar scene.
