really nice spot
most 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)

highway still in construction
take the bus to the michendorf gas station it will be your only choice to get south easier (for nurnberg and all i mean)

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).

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.

Took a solid while, maybe I was unlucky. Got there at 2pm, left at 5pm. Was hopping to get straight to Hamburg and could only get a ride halfway there. Toilets cost 1€.

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

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.

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.

Maybe an illegal spot? I don't know, but I got a ride easily to Berlin. A lot of space to stop.

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

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.
