First one we asked took us to Cologne. Very busy restaurant and gas station with a lot of options

I was going south, trucks are all headed east through Cologne and most passenger cars were headed north. One driver took pity and drove me out of his way to get me south. He said he told a friend over the phone there was a hitchhiker and the friend dared him to give the lift, it was his first time.

Safety note: a 5 passenger car with 5 male occupants attempted to get me to give them money for a ride at this spot, even though they clearly didn't have space. They became belligerent when I declined, until they saw other people watching and sped away. I made a point of chatting with as people as possible after this in case they came back.

Drivers were overall not polite, relatively low passenger car traffic and a lot of dirty looks or avoidance - I was clean and groomed, didn't have this problem elsewhere.

Saw a van with Spain number plates and kayaks on top, talked to the driver and he took me to just outside of Cologne.

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

Hitched from the Eastbound shell. Took only a short time for a lift to Köln. Our driver was kind enough to drop us at the front door of our friends house

Most people were going to Paris, but I got extremely lucky and very soon found a couple taking me all the way to Düsseldorf, Germany!
I arrived there when it was already dark so it was a plus that you can technically reach Orleans by public transport if you don’t have a tent nor want to spend the night outside. Also there is probably more traffic there in summer or during the day with people going further than Paris

I started hitchhiking pretty early so there were only few cars. After an hour I started asking drivers and got ride to duseldorf with Polish driver (being polish probably helped me a lot with that)

Having wasted a whole day in the Ruhrpot I ended up taking the bus to Ohligers Heide and got a ride to Frankfurt in 10 minutes.

Apparently, there was a place for cars to stay just behind here. German van that went to a festival 'Harmony of Hardore' nearby my town just left going home. Can't say if the spot truly works, Netherlands generally seems difficult to take off.
