The march was organized to pass within earshot of the 19,000-strong Pride parade, showing the stark confrontation between the LGBTQ+ community and radical right activists.
Police described the rally as having "typical assembly behavior, and partly aggressive or militant behavior" underlining the tensions between opposing groups in Leipzig.
Several violations of the criminal code and Germany's assembly law were identified, leading to temporary detentions of the far-right protesters for identity checks.
The Pride rally drew significant support from senior politicians and community leaders, demonstrating a united front against far-right opposition in Germany.
