9. Artikel der Menschenrechte

9. Artikel der Menschenrechte stands in Nuremberg between the old and new buildings of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. It links Kornmarkt Street with the medieval city wall. Dani Karavan created this work for the Way of Human Rights, an outdoor sculpture route through the city. A gate, white concrete pillars, and a columnar oak shape the setting.

The wider installation contains thirty pillars, including twenty-seven round pillars and two buried forms marked by visible plates. Each upright pillar rises eight metres and measures eighty centimetres across. Five-metre gaps align the pillars along one axis, while inscriptions present articles from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in German and another language. The northern gate mirrors a medieval city gate at the street’s southern end. Monastery remains, the medieval wall, Sep Ruf buildings, and a glass-enclosed entrance surround this layered urban passage. Nuremberg’s International Human Rights Award is presented here every two years.
