Some 120 right-wing extremists held a rally today in the northern German city of Hamburg, a day after it was banned due to the country's Holocaust Memorial Day, police said.
Police said that 400 counter-protesters tried to drown out the demonstration with shouts but reported no violence.
Some 70 leftist protesters were detained for trying to stop the skinhead march.
The neo-Nazi event was postponed from yesterday after the German Constitutional Court upheld objections that it should not take place on January 27, the 56th anniversary of the liberation of the Third Reich death camp Auschwitz.
Thousands of people took to the streets of German cities yesterday to warn of a resurgence by right-wing extremists and to call for a quick settlement on compensation packages for former Nazi-era slave labourers.
Meanwhile, wreaths were laid at a number of concentration camps including Buchenwald, near Weimar, in the east of the country.
In Norway today, five neo-Nazis aged 17 to 21 were arrested over the fatal stabbing of a 15-year-old in the city on Friday, police said.
The three men and two girls are suspected of repeatedly stabbing Mr Benjamin Labaren Hermansen in the stomach and chest in a parking lot in a residential area of Oslo. The victim was the son of a Ghanaian man.
According to police, two of the male suspects are aged 21 and a third is aged 20. The two girls are 17 years old. The five, who are all Norwegian and known by police to be active in neo-Nazi circles, have denied the charges.
