The police said a total of 500 participants who faced each other in the afternoon on the Willy-Brandt-Platz in front of the main train station. "We can not tell them apart, who opponents who advocate is," a police spokesman had said at the start. There had been a tussle between the two sides, but so far no arrests. A shrill whistling interrupted repeatedly attempts by Pegada-speakers make their voices heard. In the opinion of DGB, churches, political parties and anti-fascist groups behind Pegada ("Patriotic Europeans against the Americanization of the West") is a "crude merger" of conspiracy theorists, neo-Nazis and violent hooligans. The similarity of the name to Pegida movement ("Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West") was chosen deliberately.
Sit-ins of anti-fascist groups forced later Pegada protesters to abandon their original plan of march through the city center to Piazza Duomo. In a wide arc, they had police escort back to the station to hold its rally there.
