Thousands of both opponents and supporters of Germany’s liberal immigration policies marched through the eastern city of Chemnitz, where the fatal stabbing of a German man, allegedly by two migrants, had previously sparked protests and street violence.

Clashes were averted Sept. 1, as police kept the rival protests from crossing paths and arrested unruly individuals who threatened to shatter the tense calm.
