Six police were injured after around 2,000 people gathered in Mannheim to protest coronavirus restrictions, police said late Monday. The rally, which had been organized since last week on the encrypted Telegram chat app, surprised police in its size. Police told local media the "Querdenker" movement, which roughly translates as "lateral thinkers," was behind the protest action.

Elsewhere in Germany, approximately 3,500 protested in Magdeburg and 2,900 gathered in Rostock in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, both cities of former East Germany. In the eastern state of Thuringia, police said 6,000 people protested at a total of 26 banned demonstrations, which left seven officers injured. Smaller protests also took place in Gummersbach in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia, where 500 gathered. In Saxony, police cordoned off 100 people protesting in a supermarket parking lot, but let their march continue in the end, because it became impossible to distinguish between demonstrators and supermarket customers. In Dresden, police said just over 100 gathered in the city center to register their voices of dissent against current COVID-19 protocol in the country.
