3. Artikel der Menschenrechte
3. Artikel der Menschenrechte stands in Nuremberg between the Germanisches Nationalmuseum and the medieval city wall. It forms part of the Way of Human Rights, which connects Kornmarkt street with the historic fortifications. The installation presents thirty pillars along an axis, each spaced five metres apart. This pillar carries the third article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in German and another language.
Israeli artist Dani Karavan created the monument after a design competition organised by the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. Twenty-seven round pillars use white concrete, while two appear as buried columns and one takes the form of an oak. Each upright pillar reaches eight metres and measures eighty centimetres across. A medieval gate at the southern end finds its reflection in the installation’s northern entrance. Monastery remains, Sep Ruf buildings, and a glass entrance surround this route through Nuremberg’s history.
