Meet new people in Wuppertal
New in Wuppertal, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Wuppertal, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Wuppertal stretches through the valley of the Wupper as the city of the suspension railway, and is home to around 358,000 residents, more than 21,000 of whom study at the Bergische Universität and the academy of music and dance. The Luisenviertel in Elberfeld and the Ölberg in the Nordstadt are the two poles of student life: a dense strip of pubs down below, an artist and shared-flat scene up top around the Schusterplatz. People who live here meet up on the Nordbahntrasse, catch concerts at Die Börse, and treat the kiosk as the go-to spot for mild evenings.

New in Wuppertal? Here is how to connect
Wuppertal has around 21,400 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 Wuppertal, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Luisenviertel. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Wuppertal. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
