Quote from The Express:
Angela Merkel is coming under intense pressure to release her country from its lockdown, as growing social frustrations at the curfew started to make themselves felt in shocking and disturbing scenes in Frankfurt over the past weekend.

On Friday, German police clashed with a group of youths, who were violating the lockdown. As officers tried to disperse them and enforce social distancing, the thugs are said to have attacked them with iron bars. The window of a police car was smashed, after one member of the gang threw a stone, but fortunately the officer escaped any injury.

According to the German media outlet Deutsche Welle, another group of 20 then launched a sustained assault on an officer moments later, using stones, roof tiles and iron bars.
I suspect that it will only be a matter of time before it starts to kick off here as well if the lockdown continues too long.

Some sort of phased release is probably the way to go with the maintainance of the social spacing as far as possible and vulnerable groups encouraged to stay at home.
