It is. I really wouldn't worry if I were you.
As a sidenote though: Two days ago I read an interesting SPIEGEL article about the police situation in Düsseldorf. Just imagine: A city of almost 600,000 inhabitants and a police force of only 60 officers (IIRC). It's relatively calm, but only because there are very few serious crimes. If the situation blew up one day, they would indeed be pretty short on personnel to deal with the situation.
Then again, it really
is a safe country, and the First of May is really an exceptional day when it comes to violent protests (even more so in Berlin, I guess).
