Nineteen people were held after thousands of Turkish fans hit the streets to celebrate their team entering the Euro 2024 quarter finals.
Police had firecrackers aimed at them and an officer was injured in Gelsenkirchen where England beat Slovakia on Sunday evening.
More than 3000 people celebrated in the Horst and Bismarck areas of the city and a mob mocked riot police and emptied fire extinguishers and repeatedly ignited pyrotechnics.
Local police chief Tim Frommeyer said the crowds brought severe disruption to the city as fans took to their cars with horns blaring and flags flying for a midnight parade.
He said various disturbances were reported to the police including motorists doing wheelies, spinning tyres, and driving at excessive speeds with vehicle occupants leaning dangerously out of cars.

Cops said nine people were charged with crimes and a further ten accused of 'administrative' offences. Some were ordered to leave the area or face arrest.
In Berlin, police had to break up groups of Turkish fans to prevent the celebrations getting out of hand as fireworks lit up the sky and thousands took to the streets.
A major security operation is being planned for Berlin as Turkey meet the Netherlands late on Saturday night at the city's Olympiastadion.
