11. Artikel der Menschenrechte
11. Artikel der Menschenrechte stands in Nuremberg, Germany, as a stone sculpture along the Way of Human Rights. Dani Karavan designed this outdoor installation between the new and old buildings of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. The path connects Kornmarkt street with the medieval city wall, bringing together monastery remains, historic masonry and modern architecture. Thirty pillars create its central axis.
Twenty-seven round pillars use white concrete, while two remain buried and an oak forms the final column. Each pillar rises eight metres and measures eighty centimetres across, with a Universal Declaration of Human Rights article inscribed in German and another language. Five metres separate the pillars, turning the route into a measured visual passage through the city. Together, these forms confront Nuremberg’s Nazi-era past while expressing its stated commitment to peace and human rights.
