Great spot to get into Multiple directions it seems like there are more people heading north then towards Hamburg or Kiel then towards Hannover. My first time hitchhiking ever was here and I got a ride heading to Kiel in 10 minutes.

Direction: Hannover and generally central Germany. Very nice place right next to the autobahn. Just make sure you stay before the blue sign (otherwise illegal) and don't stay behind the bridge pier. It's too dangerous and drivers see you too late.
How to get there:
Take the tram line no 1 to Dietrich BonhÃ¶ffer StraÃŸe. The station is south south west of the hitch point. Southwards trough the gardens until the next parallel street, then left to the station.

For A1 East (Hamburg). Just outside the McDonalds. The road is quite fast but there is a huge space on the side to stop and people see you from some distance.

It is easy to get a ride from people leaving Bremen airport.

Very nice spot general direction south. It's a bit more difficult for straight direction west if you want to enter the Netherlands from the far north to Groningen.
Reasons: IKEA is just behind the spot and hence there are many people from all over the place to buy some furniture. This can also cause problems, when they are totally loaded.
How to get there:
Take either tram line no. 4 or 5 to station 'Huckelriede' then switch over into bus line no. 53 until the end (IKEA) or station 'Carl-Zeiss-Str.'
(one earlier). Be aware that you leave the city boarders, when using Bus 53. You'll need an area-extension if you don't want to dodge the fare.
Good ride and quick hitch,

Good traffic going right, but still most of cars goes straight, so it would be better to have a written plate with destination (i.e. OS for Osnabruke)
