More than 100 people demonstrated outside a Berlin hotel against the presence of Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders, who was in the country to give a speech, police said.
Wilders, who is due to stand trial in the Netherlands on Monday for inciting hatred against Muslims, was invited to give a speech at the Hotel Berlin in the German capital by a right-wing German politician.
A spokesman for Berlin's police said more than 100 people attended the protest organised by the Social Democrats and an association opposed to extreme-right politics, which passed off peacefully.
Protestors, outnumbered by around 250 police, brandished photos of the shock-blond Wilders that portrayed him with a moustache similar to that worn by Adolf Hitler.
