The groups shouted insults and threw sticks at each other in the city center, Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper said, adding that some 100 police officers who came to intervene were attacked with bottles and sticks.
The criminal police are investigating the case over violation of public order and infliction of bodily injuries.
