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 23,000 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.
