I stood there for almost an hour with a sign saying Köln and Essen on Monday at 11. many cars passed by but the vibe was not great. Frankfurt is a banker city and the people gave me weird looks. However one van stopped after 20 minutes, they were going to Hannover though. After a while a guy driving to Bochum (city right next to Essen) took me along and we had a great ride :)―Arenwithane

I was here on a Sunday and had to wait for 2 hours. Probably faster on a weekday.To get there from Wuppertal, take the bus no. 618 or 624 to Lahmburger Str.
Then follow \"Gennebrecker Str.\" to north (5 minutes walking).

From Bochum central station, take the U35 towards Rensingstrasse. Get out there and walk up to the ramp.―Anonymous

Take a train to Oberhausen-Sterkrade and then the bus #979 to "Heinrich-Heine-Str." in Bottrop. From there you'll see the highway, just walk towards it. Good spot to hitch away fast towards Hamburg, Münster,Hannover, Berlin―Anonymous

to the south, A3. not best place for cars to stop but it is a very busy ramp and so somebody will stop, place yourself exactly where the marker is―Anonymous

Don't. Place yourself where this marker is! ;-) (watch out for cars coming around the corner using parts of the emergency lane, though)―Anonymous

Tried to hitchhike north (Hamburg) two times and had to wait more than one hour. If you want change to A1 maybe you can manage to get to the first parking place on A1 (10km from this spot).―Anonymous

On that spot you can also change the side of the highway if you need so. (Throught the graveyard and under the highway). This is very useful in this part of Germany where the highway density is so high.―Onefinger

From Lahmburger Straße you have to walk 10 minutes uphill. Better is the bus station "Haarhausen" with bus 618. (only 5 minutes to walk)Got directly a ride to the next rast station Lichtendorf (sunday).

We wanted to go to Hannover and we were in 3 ppl, maybe that's why it took us more than 3 hours to find a car going there―Anonymous

Got a lift to Ham after about 30 minutes of asking people at the door. Many people were going north (or atleast said they were). Lots of people moving through.―Matt567
