Perhaps the best spot for getting rides out of every direction in Frankfurt is on the B8, on the start of the Theodor-Heuss Allee near the centre of the city. Underneath the "Messeturm" skyscraper is a roundabout connecting Theodor-Heuss Allee, Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage and Senkenberganlage. Take U-Bahn underground line U4, or Straßenbahn tram lines 16 or 17, and get off at the stop "Festhalle/Messe". The roundabout should be easily visible.
Traffic is very busy here every day from 0700 to 2000. Average waiting time 45 minutes. There is a reasonable chance of finding other hitchhikers at this spot.
If you prefer not to take public transport, then from the "Hauptbahnhof" central train station walk north for approx. 15 minutes. Look for the dark red Messeturm skyscraper (nickname "The Pencil", which gives a clue to it's appearance) and walk towards it along the main road. From there, look for the roundabout.
