26. Artikel der Menschenrechte
26. Artikel der Menschenrechte stands along the Way of Human Rights in Nuremberg, between the Germanisches Nationalmuseum and the medieval city wall. The route links Kornmarkt street with the historic wall through a monumental outdoor sculpture by Israeli artist Dani Karavan. A gate mirrors the medieval city gate at the southern end, while remnants of a monastery and buildings by Sep Ruf surround the path.
Thirty vertical elements mark the installation: twenty-seven white-concrete pillars, two buried pillars with round plates, and one columnar oak. Each pillar rises eight metres, measures eighty centimetres across, and stands five metres from the next. Articles from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights appear in German and additional languages, including Yiddish and languages of communities still facing discrimination. A glass-enclosed entrance added in 1993 meets the sculpture’s historical setting, where past crimes and the continuing defence of human rights remain visible together.
