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

Wasn't successful with talking to people for 45 minutes, so I thumbed at the very end of the service station. Got super lucky with a lift to Dortmund.―LJIsTooShort

I agree with another comment, doesn't feel like an ideal place to wait - not to much space for cars to pull over―wazkort

Good place when heading to Bremen (A1) or Hannover (A2).To get there from Schwerte train station, take bus no. R50 to \"Lichtendorf Poetschke\". From there you can already see the service area.

I was here on a Sunday and had to wait for 2 hours. Probably faster on a weekday.To get there from Wuppertal, take the bus no. 618 or 624 to Lahmburger Str.
Then follow \"Gennebrecker Str.\" to north (5 minutes walking).

A great place, but a lot of local traffic. You should at least get a lift to the service area 'Lichtendorf' easily.―Anonymous

I waited 25 min for a car changing on the A2 to Hanover. I think there are more cars continuing on the A1 to Bremen.―Kolodez

On that spot you can also change the side of the highway if you need so. (Throught the graveyard and under the highway). This is very useful in this part of Germany where the highway density is so high.―Onefinger

many many cars going to hamburg/hannover but almost nobody going direction Berlin. Took me 1 hour to find 2 rides at the same time (for me and to my friends, 4 in total) to go to berlin.―Gustavobretz

We stopped there on our way from Paris to Berlin and got a car directly to Berlin after 45 minutes of waiting. The traffic was quite intense, a great stop and not hard to reach with transportation.―RuslanShchuchkin

Please just note: To get to the gas station you have to cross (illegaly) a field. On rainy days (so was mine) you may look dirty and full of mud. Well, I had to change my clothes, otherwise nobody would have taken me :D―Anonymous

Tried to hitchhike north (Hamburg) two times and had to wait more than one hour. If you want change to A1 maybe you can manage to get to the first parking place on A1 (10km from this spot).―Anonymous
