In a statement, Leipzig said that their security staff "had been instructed to intensify checks" of "certain groups due to potential risk".
"Unfortunately ... amidst the great uncertainty surrounding this topic ... a mistake was made on our part," the statement continued.
"We would like to extend our apologies."
