Didn’t take long before I had a lift to Brussels with a car full of Germans on their way to a Jason Derulo concert

Good, direct spot to leave Germany. Just took a bit of time

This place is counterintuitive, or I just got lucky, but I was exhausted and in a not-so-great mood, so I desperately wanted to get out of Germany. So I got a sign saying BE, and it took just a couple of minutes to get a ride to the small town of Kelmis in Belgium.

I made a mistake and trusted my driver that this would be a good place. It was not. I tried standard hitchhiking, but soon realized that there is too heavy traffic for that here. So I started asking at the gas station, and that worked after some time.

This was a good spot for the Aachen direction. You can be clearly seen, and the cars are slow from the crossroad. They can also easily stop at the bus station.

I stood at the roundabout on the end. There was a lot of traffic. Had a sign saying Köln. Then a guy took me past it to a station in the direction of Frankfurt. Good spot. You can get here by bus from Aachen very easily, the bus station is right next to the station.

I agree with another comment, doesn't feel like an ideal place to wait - not to much space for cars to pull over

Took me two hours to find someone to go in the direction of Liège. To be fair, it was a bad time, Mid-November on a weekday when it was super foggy, but most people were just going to Aachen or North to the Netherlands or Antwerp. So if you wanna go there, it's a good spot, I guess. However the person who took me was super nice and even made a small detour for me.

Good starting spot to get to Aachen and beyond to Belgium or NL, easy to reach with public transport too. I wasn't even there at a good time (Mid-November on a weekday, very foggy weather) and still found a ride to Aachen pretty quickly by asking around.

Aachener Land:
I waited here for about two hours with a sign "England".
And then I've got a lift until London. It was over the hole night. Great lift

Gas Station \"Aachener Land\". To get a ride out of Aachen following the A44 southwest, we got of at Merzbrück (5a) and walked to this station. 2,5km

August 2016: Good spot, lots of trucks and cars passing by. After 30 minutes waiting I got a lift direct to Paris.

Very few Dutch cars stopping here (dec 2012), much less than I expected. Like said before, most were full too because they are returning from a vacation.

Easiest way to get to Maastricht is to find a driver going to Belgium or Eindhoven over the A76 in the Netherlands, then get out at A76 exit Geleen and hitch with sign Maastricht.

To get to Maastricht you can also find here any driver going to Heerlen-Eindhoven-Antwerpen, after crossing the border let the driver take the exit N281. Parallel road, the N281 has an exit Maastricht (with a petrol station at the beginning of the A79!). Then driver goes on on N281 towards his destination. This costs driver about 5 minutes extra driving time.
