Erfurt (dpa) - In the course of the illegal protests against the anti-corona measures on Saturday in Erfurt, the police recorded the personal details of around 400 demonstrators.
A spokeswoman for the Erfurt police said on Monday upon request that 21 criminal charges and 382 administrative offenses were recorded.
Most of the criminal complaints are about resistance to law enforcement officers and insults.
Protesters also filed criminal charges against police officers - for example for assault.
According to the police, the administrative offenses mainly concerned violations of the Infection Protection Act and the anti-corona rules that apply in Erfurt.
According to the spokeswoman, the participants were warned by the police for about half an hour before the participants' personal details were recorded.
The protesters' identity documents were then filmed and the personal data recorded.
They should now be sent to the city of Erfurt.
On Saturday, despite a judicial ban, around 500 people gathered on Domplatz in downtown Erfurt to demonstrate against the anti-corona measures.
According to observers, the situation escalated in part when the security forces tried to break up the unauthorized meeting and to establish the identities of the participants.
Ambulances were also in use.

Thuringia's Interior Minister Georg Maier (SPD) thanked the police "for the systematic crackdown on Domplatz," as Maier wrote on Monday on the Twitter short message service.
Like Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow (left), Maier criticized the fact that AfD members of the state parliament were present at the demonstration, who "through their irresponsible behavior endangered the health of bystanders and police officers," wrote the interior minister.
