4. Artikel der Menschenrechte
4. Artikel der Menschenrechte stands in Nuremberg, Germany, between the old and new buildings of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. It belongs to Dani Karavan’s Straße der Menschenrechte, an outdoor sculpture arranged along a straight axis. White concrete pillars rise eight metres above the passage, with five metres between them.
Dani Karavan inaugurated the sculpture on 24 October 1993. Thirty elements shape the installation: a gate, twenty-seven round pillars, two buried pillars, and a columnar oak. Each pillar carries an article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in German and another language. Yiddish appears among the languages, connecting the monument with communities targeted during the Nazi regime.
Remains of a monastery and medieval city wall lie beside buildings designed by Sep Ruf. The northern gate mirrors a medieval city gate at the street’s southern end, linking different periods of Nuremberg’s history. A columnar oak introduces living growth among the concrete forms. Nuremberg received the UNESCO Prize for Human Rights Education in 2001, with this avenue specifically cited.
