19. Artikel der Menschenrechte
In Nuremberg, Germany, 19. Artikel der Menschenrechte stands between the Germanisches Nationalmuseum’s older and newer buildings. An axis connects Kornmarktstraße with the medieval city wall.
White concrete surrounds the route, where thirty elements include twenty-seven round pillars, two buried plates, a gate, and an oak. Each pillar rises eight metres, measures eighty centimetres across, and stands five metres from its neighbour. Israeli artist Dani Karavan developed the sculpture after a 1988 design competition judged by a twelve-person museum jury. Every inscription presents an article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in German and another language.
The northern gate mirrors a medieval city gate at the street’s southern end. Monastery remains, Sep Ruf buildings, and a glass entrance add layers of history around the sculpture. Nürnberg received the UNESCO Prize for Human Rights Education in 2001, with the Way of Human Rights specifically recognised. The Nuremberg International Human Rights Award is presented here every two years.
