Clashes broke between police and protesters at an unauthorized demonstration in the Berlin district of Neukölln. At least 65 police officers were injured.
Authorities had banned such protests, which have been called in response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the militant group which killed around 1,400 Israelis in a terrorist attack two weeks ago.
Some attendees used pyrotechnics, set fire to barricades and pelted police with stones and bottles, law enforcement said.
Berlin police chief Barbara Slowik told regional broadcaster RBB that the situation in Neukölln was “tense.”
The incident comes after after two Molotov cocktails were thrown at a Jewish community center in Berlin in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Separately on Wednesday night, another gathering against violence in the Middle East was held outside the Foreign Office in Berlin.
Pro-Palestinian protests were also held in other German cities influding Frankfurt, where police used water cannons, and in Nuremberg.
