On Wednesday morning, the police searched several properties in the Connewitz district of Leipzig.
More than 100 emergency services were deployed, said a spokesman for the State Criminal Police Office.
The searches are related to proceedings for possible politically motivated crimes.
The spokesman said it was about property damage and arson.
Leipzig – The investigation is being conducted by the general public prosecutor's office in Dresden and the public prosecutor's office in Leipzig.
The police initially did not provide any further information.
Connewitz is considered a left-wing alternative district.
There, suspected left-wing extremists repeatedly clash with the police.
