I appeared at this spot accidentally because my previous driver accidentally made a mistake and took other way to Leverkusen than he planned before. Anyway, this spot was not convenient in my case because I was trying to get back to A1. Anyway, I didn't have any other option when I got there. After approx. 1 hour a kind soul helped me, drove some extra kilometers and took me to the gas station at Burscheid on A1. I think there is much local traffic there, going to Dusseldorf, Duisburg and Leverkusen.

asked and the first driver gave me a lift to Leverkusen

You can get here by U-Bahn 12 from the center of Kln, then just walk across the field. I was trying to get to Hanover, and during one hour of waiting I've stopped about 7 cars before one finally took me to Leverkusen, from where it was easier.

Petrol station "Lichtendorf", good to get a lift to Cologne, Leverkusen or Wuppertal!
