It's a great spot to go West. On a quiet Saturday morning, I got a ride all the way to NL within half an hour waiting, asking drivers and no sign.The Michrndorf rest area is easily and quickly accessible by the multiple bus lines from Potsdam Hbf and a short walk.
This was the starting point of my first long-distance solo hitchhiking journey: from Berlin to Belgium. It couldn't have started off better than with this 589km, 6h15 ride :-)

Not a great spot if you are trying to go south, amazing for western Germany or the Netherlands. Waited for 1,5/2h to get a ride to Potsdam, as anywhere in Poland, go to ppl and have a chat rather than standing with a signrating: 4/5, wait: 100 min, ride: 139 km ←

Might be a bit tricky to reach from Berlin, Hauptbanhof. To get there take S7 in the direction of Potsdam and either take E23/33 from "Wannsee" or take the bus (ask the information office which number you have to take) to Michendorf Banhof and exit two stations after that station, then walk for about two kilometers and you are there.It's a great spot with many opportunities, I would definitely recommend this spot to everyone!

one of berlins good places to leave the city. from the center of berlin, you reach the relais (rastanlage) with the s-bahn indicating 'potsdam' or 'wannsee', get off at nikolassee station. the walk takes less than two minutes. there is a traffic light as well as a petrol station and restaurant. many drivers go south on A 115 which can alternatively take you to 'rastanlage michendorf' (10 minutes) on 'berliner ring' where the situation for hitchhikers is even better. from michendorf it should not take longer than 10 minutes to find a driver to hannover, dessau (A8), leipzig (A8) or even munich (A8).―Anonymous, November 2011

Good spot. Bus from potsdam take you only a short walk away. Used a sign to get to Hannover, as we did not speak any German. Seemed to be plenty of traffic. Truck driver the one to take us in the end. Waited around 1 hour.―Anonymous, May 2011
