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.
