27. Artikel der Menschenrechte
The 27. Artikel der Menschenrechte stands in Nuremberg between the old and new buildings of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. It forms part of the Straße der Menschenrechte. Dani Karavan’s outdoor sculpture connects Kornmarktstraße with the medieval city wall through a monumental axis. White concrete pillars rise eight metres high and stand five metres apart. Each carries an article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in German and another language.
The installation emerged from a 1988 design competition and opened in 1993. A gate mirrors the medieval city gate at the opposite end. Two buried pillars show only round plates, while a columnar oak joins the twenty-seven visible pillars. Monastery remains, Sep Ruf buildings and a glass entrance surround the route. The setting links Nürnberg’s medieval fabric with its commitment to peace and human rights. Every two years, the site hosts the International Nuremberg Human Rights Award.
