German police as usual arrested the anti-nazis and let the nazis go about their business. About 65 left wing demonstrators were arrested and attacked with water canons as during clashes in the western German town of Braunschweig. About 2500 anti-nazis were attacked by police as they sought to block a march by a bunch of nazis. According to an independnet observer there were about 300 nazis on hand. That same observer reports the anti-nazis had considerable support from passer bys.
A separate far-right rally in the village of Halbe drew 100 followers of the nazi like BNP and close to 1000 protesters. Some 1,000 police officers kept the two sides apart in the town of Halbe, about 70 kilometers (45 miles) southeast of Berlin, and no violence was reported.
