13. Artikel der Menschenrechte
13. Artikel der Menschenrechte stands in Nuremberg between the old and new buildings of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. It links Kornmarktstraße with the medieval city wall. One white-concrete pillar carries the thirteenth article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in German and another language. At eight metres high, it belongs to a line spaced five metres apart.
Dani Karavan designed the Way of Human Rights after a 1988 competition held by the museum’s jury. Thirty pillars form the eight-metre-high sequence along the axis. Two disappear partly into the ground, while a columnar oak and a gate extend the arrangement. The northern gate mirrors a medieval city gate at the street’s southern end. Monastery remains, Sep Ruf buildings from the 1950s and 1960s, and a glass entrance surround the route.
Nuremberg received the UNESCO Prize for Human Rights Education in 2001, with the Way of Human Rights specifically cited. The inscription joins architecture, local history, and a public statement about human dignity.
