This is the best summary I could come up with:
The event last week, also in Hamburg, saw some individuals call for establishing strict Islamic law, Shariah, to replace German democracy.
Islamism has no place here," Dennis Thering, the chairperson of Hamburg’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) parliamentary group said after the Saturday rally.
Around 1,100 people marched in that rally against what they called Islamophobic policies and a media campaign against Muslims in Germany.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who’s also from Hamburg and has served as the city’s mayor, said calls to introduce Shariah had to be dealt with.
“All the Islamist activities that are taking place must be dealt with using the possibilities and options available to us under the rule of law,” Scholz said.
Melanie Leonhard and Nils Weiland, Hamburg chairpersons of Scholz’s center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD), also said: “Extremists and enemies of the constitution have no place in our society have no place in our society."
