Meet new people in Mannheim
New in Mannheim, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Mannheim, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
With around 318,000 residents, Mannheim is the second-largest city in Baden-Württemberg and is home to roughly 28,000 students across all its universities. The harbor district of Jungbusch has transformed from a red-light area into the city's densest nightlife quarter, where bars, clubs and small stages sit close together. Add to that a strong music scene as a UNESCO City of Music, the Maimarkt grounds as a festival venue and Luisenpark as a green meeting spot with a lakeside stage in the middle of the city.

New in Mannheim? Here is how to connect
Mannheim has around 28,300 students at 5 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 Mannheim, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Jungbusch. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Mannheim. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
