It was a bit hard to get to Freiburg on a saturday afternoon. Many people going to Strasbourg, local traffic aswell. After one and a half hour got a lift from a german couple.

Direction South on the A5 towards Basel
Needed 10min to get a ride with two Australian guys who brought me to Freiburg.

Got offered lifts to Karlsruhe, Frankfurt and Nürnberg within 30 mins. Got a lift to Pforzheim direction Stuttgart after one hour. Friday morning in June. Agree with Mrm1985, if you are coming from south and wanna go to Stuttgart and your driver drives north: This is the place to get off.

It seems fairly easy to get lifts too Karlsruhe. However I waited 1 hour for a direct lift to Frankfurt.

depends a lot on direction and time: Karlsruhe - no problem. If you want to get onto the A8 to Stuttgart, expect to wait a bit longer. Use a banner for that purpose and try to ask drivers with PF (Pforzheim) number plate...
Checking the road signs, there appears to not be any other service station before the road split in front of Karlsruhe. So better get off here or try to find an on-ramp at the crossroads.

Expect a long wait time if heading north (Munich)

Very good for the direction Karlsruhe (north)

Bad for hitching to France (Strasbourg). Most traffic turned off further north.

not an excellent place but it's fine if you wanna leave Strasbourg in direction of Germany (u can take a quick and cheap train from STBG to Appenweier, then walk about 25min. to the gas station)
