Straße der Menschenrechte

The Straße der Menschenrechte is an open-air sculpture in Nuremberg, running between Kornmarktstraße, the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, and the medieval city wall. White concrete pillars mark the path at regular intervals. Israeli artist Dani Karavan arranged the design along one axis, with a gate, twenty-seven round pillars, two buried pillars, and a columnar oak. Each visible pillar rises eight metres above the street.

Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights appear on the pillars in German and another language, turning the route into a sequence of texts. The pillars stand five metres apart along the route. At the northern end, a gate mirrors the medieval city gate at the southern end, while monastery remains and Sep Ruf buildings surround the path. Wheelchair access makes the route easier to explore. In 2001, UNESCO honoured Nuremberg with a prize for human rights education, specifically citing this place.
