We Were hitchhiking to the North on a Sunday morning. Incredibly we found someone after 50 min to Rotterdam all the way to our destination in the Netherlands.

It worked very good.
We talked to some people and someone took us to Hamburg.
Even over us a place to sleep if we wanted which we gladly accepted.
It was a very nice experience!

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 :)

Pretty good to go south out of Frankfurt. There’s a lot of space for cars to stop right before the entrance to the gasstation. Stood there with a sign „Darmstadt“ and eventually someone took me there. Asking around the gasstation didn’t work for me here as most people stayed in Frankfurt

A lot of people going to Frankfurt, also you can cross the highway via a bridge and go north

First day noone going south, only Frankfurt or Frankfurt airport. Next day we had a sign saying A5 SOUTH wich was very helpful and got picked up in 20-30 minutes, and drove close to Landau. Got dropped of at gas station near Edesheim. 20 minute walk there, and a store, so you can buy food etc.

Really good for Frankfurt or shorter rides, unfortunatelly for us we needed south and desperatly needed to get on A5, when super sweet young lady stopped and drove us to a bigger gas station right on A5

Early rainy Monday morning, people were cranky and not many. Should be better later in the day though. Got a ride to the next bigger station. Spent the night hanging between two trees in the woods here (beautiful and not transited).

My new technique strikes again! (Monday morning solo female). Sign in hand (Freiburg, maybe Basel would have been better sign though), walking around looking lost, for a place to hitch, immediately got offered a ride to Basel. Lots of Swiss cars, some southern German, not many French.

A guy and a girl without a sign on a Friday afternoon. Two cars stopped in 20 min, and the second one went south of Hannover. The spot at the end of the station is quite good for cars to stop.

A guy and a girl without a sign on a Friday at noon. There is a bus stop for cars to stop, not ideal as everybody goes a bit fast, but probably the best spot to get out east of the city as there are a lot of people passing by.

Extremely lucky lady came up to us as we were making our sign. I can see it not being bad. Not too much traffic though

Bus stop. Well-known hitchhiking spot, good for all directions out of Frankfurt. Get here with Straßenbahn line 16 or 17, or U-Bahn line U4. Stop is 'Festhalle/Messe' (50m away on the other side of the roundabout). You often find other hitchhikers here, especially in the morning. Waiting time 30-60 minutes.

Said to be a good spot, but from several hours of trying here I still haven't managed to get a lift. A much better spot is the bus stop on Theodor-Heuss-Allee. For more info, see http://www.hitchwiki.org/Frankfurt_am_Main

Gas station on the motorway "Wetterau". There is a tunnel so you can easyly cross the motorway.
Excellent stop if you're going north either to Dortmund or Kassel.
Comming from Dortmund I stop here, switch sides and go up north and east to chemnitz very often. Faster than directly trying to get east.
Very very many cars go north from here!!!!

Gas Station 'Wetterau' - perfect for direction east (on A4), e.g. fridays you'll have a lift to poland within 10 mins
