got a ride to stuttgart. Asking the drivers took me 3 min to find a ride. Normally it took me 20 min when I was waiting at the exit with the thumb up

went just to köln. The guy left me close to the entrance/exit of the autobahn in the traffic lights and the i found a ride directly to frankfurt after 5 min. I was with another girl. We met 2 guys also doing hitchhiking there. They said they were waiting for 3 hours (i don't know if it was true)

Very good spot if you are going in direction of Frankfurt. We found two dutch boys on a parking who took us to petrol station close to Stuttgart.

maybe i was unfortunate, mostly found people going on to the A1, but still found a ride on the A3 pretty fast.

I never waited longer than maybe half an hour. In my opinion, it's the best place to get south from Düsseldorf.

Large motorway services. Should be good, although I ended up waiting a few hours early on a Monday morning. If you're travelling south from Düsseldorf, consider starting from here (take a train to Hilden, then take bus 741 or walk through the suburbia).
