The motive for the dispute was initially unclear.
However, there were members of both the clan milieu and the rocker milieu in both groups, said a police spokesman.
One cannot distinguish between victims and perpetrators.
At first there was talk of 80-100 people who met on the square.
The police now spoke of a three-digit number of people who had gathered there.
The police are still busy with the crime scene investigation.
It is a large area and there are many tracks, the police spokesman said.
In the course of the day, the arrested persons are also to be questioned.
