The German Foreign Ministry warned Turkish bodyguards involved in violent scuffles in Washington last month not to attend the G20 summit in July, German media reported on Sunday.
Those warnings were then repeated to Bundestag members in closed-door meetings, respected national daily Die Welt reported.
The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) said earlier that foreign powers did not hold sovereign powers, saying "foreign colleagues only have the right to self-defense," the paper reported.
Hamburg Senator Andy Grote told Die Welt: "On our streets, only the Hamburg police have a say - and no one else. This includes foreign security forces."
The Turkish Embassy sent the Foreign Ministry a list of 50 people who were to accompany Erdogan to Hamburg, local daily Hamburger Abendblatt reported on Sunday. The list reportedly included 12 agents who were involved in an incident in Washington last month.
US authorities announced arrest warrants had been issued for 12 members of Erdogan's security detail, including nine security guards and three police officers.
Germany warned Turkey that they will not allow the 12 agents to enter Germany.
