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 365,000 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.
