New in Rostock, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Rostock, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.

With around 205,000 residents, Rostock is the largest city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and, with roughly 14,000 students at the Universität Rostock, the university hub of the northeast, right on the Baltic coast. The trendy Kröpeliner-Tor-Vorstadt (KTV) district, the city harbour on the Warnow that has been turned into a promenade, and the broad beach in Warnemünde shape student life between lecture hall and sea. Anyone studying here spends the summer shuttling between lectures, beach bars and live concerts by the water.

New in Rostock? Here is how to connect

Rostock has around 14,100 students at 2 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 Rostock, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Kröpeliner-Tor-Vorstadt (KTV). No pressure, no dating, just real people from Rostock. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
