I also checked out video feeds and it looked like they did have a lot of people out there. Some arrests were made - very gentle arrests compared to what we see here or in the US.

Curiously BBC article sounds like the protest was over by the time it was published. However according to the video feeds the protest is still going on, one hour later.

Germany announced a minimum €50 fine for people caught not wearing face masks where it is compulsory. This probably was the push that triggered this.

Every article covering the protest in Berlin seems to mention "alt-right present among the protesters". I am not sure how relevant it is. It doesn't seem to be alt-right event and alt-right are seen at many events because they either want to piggyback on publicity or also support the idea - which doesn't say anything about the idea itself.
