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

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

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

This is simply the best spot available eastwards. It might seem tricky if you want to hitch towards Berlin, but it will work out, eventually. Stay along the A2, it's worth it!―The hydrA

I also say for the ppl going eastwards: Stay on the A2!!!―Maxdubi

If youre heading Berlin first ask for getting out of this area because a lot of people will leave the road soon. Later it is much more easier to find a lift to Berlin or Hannover. For Hamburg get off "Hannover Garbsen"―Anonymous
