Meet new people in Marburg
New in Marburg, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Marburg, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Marburg an der Lahn is one of Germany's most quintessential student towns: with around 21,000 students at the Philipps-Universität among just about 73,000 residents, students completely define the cityscape. Life plays out in the historic Oberstadt with its high density of pubs, while the scene meets in self-run cultural centres like the KFZ and the Café Trauma im G-Werk. In summer, everything shifts to the Lahnwiesen, where people grill, picnic and linger by the riverbank late into the night.

New in Marburg? Here is how to connect
Marburg has around 20,800 students at 1 university, 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 Marburg, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Oberstadt. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Marburg. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
