The street '''Prenzlauer Promenade''' is called ''Prenzlauer Allee'' in the city centre and becomes the Autobahn A114 next to the ''S-Bahn'' station ''Pankow-Heinersdorf''. From there, just walk 500m down the bridge and you've got a traffic-light as well as two petrol stations, both on the right side for the drivers going towards the Autobahn. It may be worth walking to the second petrol station as it's cheaper and more frequented. However, it might happen that the staff at this second (Shell) station tell you to leave their property and threaten you to call the police.
You can also wait opposite of ''McD's'' for a lift. Sometimes you will meet other hitchhikers here, too. If someone offers a lift "only" to a gas petrol station on the motorway ("Linumer Bruch" for instance) take it, since from a motorway gas petrol station it is very easy to get another lift.
==== For [[Scandinavia]] bound hitchhikers ====
The ferries that are useable by hitchhikers are Scandline's 2 ferries, the other ones charge per passenger whereas these charge per car making the ride on the ferry free for the hitchhiker. One of them, recommended by this article when hitching from [[Berlin]] leaves from a ferry terminal 10 kilometers north of [[Rostock]] to [[Gedser]] in [[Denmark]] and the other one, from [[Puttgarden]] to [[Rodby]], also in [[Denmark]], sees more traffic and runs more often. For going to [[Copenhagen]] or other places in ''Denmark'' from ''Berlin'' the ''Rostock'' ferry works rather well. It does however have the problem of only leaving every 2 hours or less. Also for any [[Sweden]] (or [[Norway]]) bound hitchhikers it has the issue that rather few people on this ferry are going to ''Sweden'' so mostly you will find yourself dropped off at a gasstation petrol station before ''Copenhagen'' from where you will have to find yourself a lift to ''Sweden''.
In hitchhiker ''Theo's'' personal ''Berlin'' --> ''Sweden'' commuting experience it is generally faster to go from Berlin to Sweden by using the Puttgarden ferry than the Rostock ferry. The time invested in getting to the main highway going north from [[Hamburg]] and [[Lubeck]] to ''Puttgarden'' is well-rewarded seeing as getting a ride by standing with a [[Sweden]] sign in ''Puttgarden'' before the ticket both booth or from one of the gasstations petrol stations before saves you hustle time and effort by not having to hitchhike at all in [[Denmark]] by using only transit traffic. The next good place to hitchhike if you are going in direction towards[[Stockholm]] or [[Gothenburg]] is after or before we people get on/off the ferry in [[Helsingor]]/[[Helsingborg]] and getting a ride from ''Puttgarden'' to there is pretty straightforward.
