The head of Saxony's intelligence services, Gordian Meyer-Plath, has said there is an organised scene in Chemnitz that includes right-wing hooligan structures such as the "NS boys" or "Kaotik Chemnitz" - organised around their support for the local football club.
Both groups took part in the weekend's demonstrations.
The intelligence services reckon there were just over 23,000 right-wing extremists in Germany in 2016.
German authorities have now vowed to intensify their efforts in the fight against them.
But people who would describe themselves as ordinary citizens joined the demonstrations in Chemnitz, too.
