Entrance to the highway is still blocked but we got lucky with a driver who didn't know that (on the highway sign for the rasthof there's no information about that lol) he took us to michendorf and we got there around the time we would have gotten there if taking public transport to there instead to Grunewald. At the Grunewald the traffic is as low as at Michendorf but barely anyone goes on the highway.―M

really nice spotmost of the cars here are doing long distance ride so you’ll find anything
i get some offers for cologne, hannover and then finally i got one the the hirschberg gas station before nurnberg
totally recommend it !!
place yourself next to the sign and hitchhike on both side of the road (sign required !)
good luck (that spot is maybe the best to leave berlin south)

Tried this spot last year and quickly got a ride to Michendorf. This time, we were offered a ride all the way to Leipzig by a guy going to Munich. He was local, so I suppose we got lucky. A good spot with ample space to stop, but a bit of a hike from the city center. The bus stop Deutscher Wetterdienst (also along the Michendorfer Chausee, closer to the center) might also be an option, though we didn’t have any luck there (probably because it was getting late).―Kreft

Legendary place for going from Hamburg to Berlin, in my experience. I’ve been picked up twice by drivers going all the way to Berlin and never had to wait more than 15 minutes. Lots of commuters pass the roundabout, traffic is slow enough to stop and there’s a wonderfully wide shoulder. Chef’s kiss.―Kreft

got a ride straight to berlin! ended up getting a strange driver, just another reminder to those out there to be cautious while hitchhiking, but all was good in the end (two males)―Crackedbaldeggs

Very nice spot. Got there on a sunday morning at 7:30, it looked extremely empty, but after 30mins at the on-ramp with a "HANNOVER WEST" sign a nice man stopped trying to take me to Helmstedt, but right as I was putting my stuff into his backseat, another car stopped after seeing my sign, saying they'll take me to Duisburg. Obviously I took that offer. Very nice people, even the ones that didn't take me. Very nice experience for my very first time hitchhiking―B5Scheuert

Took a bit of time, many people sloped and offer a ride to Magdeburg, but I refused as I needed to get on A9 highway. Eventually, I got a ride with a truck to crossroad of A9 and A4, as I was going to Weimar. Truck was going to Lyon actually.―estasbien

Arrived at midnight and asked drivers pulling in for rides toward Germany. Lots of false starts and difficulty given the hour, but a good ride to Berlin (Michendorf) within about two hours in the early morning/late night I consider reasonable. There was quite a bit of traffic given the time, though much of it couples with packed cars. Hitching in the day I don’t think you’d be waiting very long.―Movethathoof

Not a lot of place for cars to stop, but I guess if they want to they can manage to find a spot―Anonymous

There is little traffic, (we were here on monday at 4pm), but it is worth the wait. People are going to Leipzig, Hanover or somewhere further west.―drzdnk

Good spot, we think. It seems to be a regular spot for hitchhikers heading south/southwest/west. We stood by the western on-ramp to the autobahn. Not a lot of traffic, but we also arrived late in the day. P.S. There’s a shower: think about using it you bum!We were two guys hitchhiking late in the afternoon/evening. We were signaling to go for Leipzig/Magdeburg. The hour was late in the day, so when a driver offered us a ride to Leipzig we accepted. In hindsight, we should probably have headed straight west towards Magdeburg/Hannover, since it was difficult to plan the route after stopping on the road to, or in, Leipzig. We were heading northwest after Leipzig towards Göttingen/Kassel via the A38. We did however get onto the A38 by sheer luck, the driver’s poor sense of direction and him being a bit creepy (esoteric guy that let us lie in the back of his van). Stay safe out there folks.

Two guys hitchhiking in the afternoon. We were picked up by a local heading to Michendorf. We were visible and there’s room for the drivers to stop, but we hiked to this spot from Potsdam and travelling along the road the amount of cars passing by would vary.―Ledan

Two guys hitchhiking. We hitchhiked here from Wannsee to Potsdam intending to head southwest, either to Leipzig or Magdeburg. We hiked from here since there was construction at the on ramp to the autobahn in Nikolasse. We were picked up quite quickly and there’s a busstop + handicapparking where the drivers can pick you up.Please note that if you just want to get to Potsdam you can take the S-bahn from Berlin instead.

Quite a lot of full cars with holiday-goers, but enough traffic atleast! Got a lift that went close to Berlin after around half an hour. A few people were also going North.―Mazi
