"More than 100,000 people turned out across Germany on Saturday in protest against the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, which sparked an outcry after it emerged that the party’s members discussed mass deportation plans at a meeting of extremists."

@wdlindsy in the end it was 200k to 300k protesting against the far right on Saturday.

And at least the same amount today: 50k in Cologne. And up to 250k in Munich (10x the expected number).

There seems to be a momentum. Quite a number of protest are already scheduled for the next weeks:
