==== Option 3: B96a Schöneweide ====
[[File:Berlin-schoeneweide.jpg|thumb|right|230px|Hitchhikers next to the Raststätte in Schöneweide.]]
Take S-Bahn S8, S9, S41, S42, S45, S4, S47, or S85 to ''Schöneweide''. Then walk east out of the station, turn right ru ight on Michael-Brückner Straße and after 300 m, you'll find two big [[rest area|Raststättes]].
* Although it is far away, these are mostly the last petrol stations for cars going towards the autobahn to get petrol. The place was once crowded with hitchhikers but is normally empty now and works fine! Locals tend to stop at the second petrol station because it's usually cheaper. Also, behind this petrol station is a Burger King "Restaurant". If you choose your spot well, you can show a sign both to cars on the street who could stop at the Burger King entrance (but often drive too fast though) and to people leaving the second petrol station or entering Burger King.
* Sept 2011 - we got a ride after about 30 minutes by standing at the exit to the second petrol station. There was another hitch hiker standing at the entrance and we got picked up before him. Recommended to stay at the exit with a sign and smile.
* July 2012. Monday morning and I'm standing a little after both petrol stations just outside the Burger King. Traffic from the road, both stations and sometimes coming out of the 'restaurant'. I was picked up in half an hour with a ride all the way to Dresden. A Romanian guy heading to Poland caught a ride just before me. Great place to hitch. LookingforStu
* [[User:Chillion|Chillion]] "March 2018. Successful hitch to Dresden with this option. Followed instructions to take the S-Bahn to Schöneweide, making my way to the second petrol station called JET. Asked drivers with DD plate (all else is wasting time). Took 30mins until I found a ride. I was surprised I was even able to find one on this Monday evening (around 5pm), but it seems speaking to people here rather than holding a sign is best. [[User:Chillion|Chillion]]"
