More than five years after a massive attack on participants of the ""Herz statt Hetze"" demonstration in Chemnitz, a first trial on the attack begins. Six of the original nine defendants, aged between 26 and 44, are now expected to appear in court. As participants in a so-called funeral march by AfD, Pegida and Pro Chemnitz, they are alleged to have attacked and injured counter-demonstrators on September 1, 2018.
