Pretty decent spot for me. I was staying in a really random spot, so got dropped here by a friend on his way to Erfurt, I was trying to get to Bielefeld. I waited near the exit, lots of space for cars to see and easy for cars to pull over and for other cars to get around them, and some sturdy oak trees to shelter from the weather. I got an extremely nice ride.

The first person I asked gave me a ride to Berlin and there would have been plenty more people to ask. Sunday 3pm.

I asked a few people and got a ride to the next gas station 60km away. Sunday 2pm.

Didn't wait long because there are enough men to ask. I don't like to ask men. But wanted to get out of there.
For women I would not advice going here, especially if you're like me, and you are cautious. It was sketcy, most of the time there were 0-2 cars, and I was afraid to end up there with only a sketcy man and noone else. I Would always avoid going there again.
For men it's likely a great spot and I think you will easily find a ride, they come and go every few minutes.

I waited long. I also didn't really think about the ikea being closed early in the morning, so I just waited till it opened, I did have a nice ikea breakfast, though. Noone needed to go to the autobahn. Also, everyones cars were packed with furniture. It felt like everyone in ikea new I was there and everyone felt bad for me still being there after they did their shopping.

Extra info for women/flintas:
Out of pity, a couple said they would take me to the autobahn, but not a gas station, but the first raststätte. I shouldn't have accepted, because there weren't many people at the raststätte, and there were only men, and it was a bit sketcy and I was afraid I would end up being there with just one man and noone else. Therefore it felt safest to fairly quickly ask a guy to bring me to the next gas station, even though I am normally very picky whom I ride with. Was not prepared to end up in that situation, so I learned a lesson.

Not sure how long I waited, it was pretty long but reasonable, but because there is no gas station/raststätte in between ilmenau and Erfurt, I didn't find a ride that could bring me to the highway directly. Had them drop me of at an ikea, where noone needed to go to the highway, and they also had their cars packed full of closets.

Got a ride even in the dark by a girl coming back from a trance festival whose mother used to tell her to never pick up hitchhikers ;)

agip-tankstelle.
stand bisher immer direkt an der straße direkt hinter der tankstelle - gute haltemöglichkeit. wenn man zu zweit ist, macht es auch sinn, wenn einer die paar autos, die an der tanke halten abklappert. auf der straße fahren ca. 80% aller leute lang, die auf die autobahn müssen. die auffahrt selbst ist nicht empfehlenswert, kreisel dann schnellstraßen-zubringer. wartezeit von geschätzten 30 mal variiert zwischen 5 und 90 Minuten.

You have to walk quite a while to get here, but the cars have the option to stop and all the traffic to the north goes by

Lot of cars passing here. Found one in 10 minutes who brought me via the national roads in Jena.

Good place. If you can stand the sun, go direct to the crossing, so the people can see you. The best thing about this Hitch-spot: there is a crocodile holding his thumb up ;)

We were two people trying to get to Stuttgart on a saturday. Mostly locals driving. Not so many cars stopping, those that did were heading for Frankfurt. Decided to hitch a ride towards frankfurt to a gas station after couple of hours

I chose that spot to hitchhike to Leipzig, waiting time: 4 minutes on a late friday afternoon. Good spot, but the sunlight will blind you at this time of the day.
