Several hundred police forces from Baden-Württemberg are also deployed to secure the G7 summit in Bavaria.
The first police officers will travel to the neighboring federal state this Saturday, said a spokeswoman for the Ministry of the Interior in Stuttgart on Friday.
The large-scale operation with full staff strength around the summit will not begin until next Friday.
Stuttgart - The ministry expects that people from the south-west will also travel to the Free State for counter-demonstrations.
There were no further details at first.
The G7 meeting with the heads of state of powerful industrial nations is to take place for the second time from June 26th to 28th in the luxury hotel Schloss Elmau at the foot of the Wetterstein mountains.
The G7 includes Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, the USA, Canada and Japan.
The district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen is already blocking a large area around the conference venue from this Sunday.
Access to this area is prohibited until June 28th.
