Migrants had been closely scrutinised after police received 1,054 complaints, including 600 for theft, from people who claimed to have been victims of sexual assaults on New Year’s Eve.
But so far only two people from Syria and one person from Iraq have been detained, although most of the suspects came from countries such as Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.
Ulrich Bremer, Cologne public prosecutor, released the statistics on arrest to newspaper Die Welt.
The city’s new police chief Jurgen Mathies added the techniques used on New Year’s Eve probably came from other countries because he hadn’t seen them in Germany.
He also said the attacks were probably not premeditated.
