21. Artikel der Menschenrechte
21. Artikel der Menschenrechte stands in Nuremberg between the old and new buildings of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. Here, Kornmarkt street meets the medieval city wall. Israeli artist Dani Karavan created this outdoor sculpture as part of the Way of Human Rights.
The installation follows a straight axis with thirty pillars, each eight metres high and eighty centimetres wide. Five metres separate each pillar along the axis. Twenty-seven white-concrete pillars rise beside two buried pillars, while a columnar oak completes the arrangement. Only a round plate reveals each buried pillar.
Every pillar carries an article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in German and another language. The inscriptions make the path’s human-rights message visibly multilingual. The museum selected Karavan’s design through a competition, and the work later opened as a monument. Medieval monastery remains, Sep Ruf buildings, and a glass entrance frame the route.
