5. Artikel der Menschenrechte
5. Artikel der Menschenrechte stands in Nuremberg between the old and new buildings of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. It forms part of Dani Karavan’s Straße der Menschenrechte, an open-air sculpture dedicated to human rights. White concrete pillars rise eight metres above the path, with five metres between them. Each pillar carries an article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in German and another language.
The surroundings bring together monastery remains, the medieval city wall, and modern designs by Sep Ruf and ME DI UM. The installation connects Nuremberg’s history with its public commitment to peace and human rights. One engraved pillar presents Article 5, giving the site a direct link to protection from torture and cruel treatment. Every two years, the International Nuremberg Human Rights Award is presented here.
