Street of Human Rights

This pedestrian street features 27 white concrete pillars standing 8 meters high and spaced 5 meters apart, each engraved with an article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in German and another language.

Officially opened on October 24, 1993, this artistic installation was created by Israeli artist Dani Karavan on a historic site containing remnants of a monastery and medieval city walls.

The street symbolizes Nuremberg's commitment to promoting human dignity and peace after its Nazi-era reputation, hosting the biennial Nuremberg International Human Rights Award ceremony.

Accessible year-round to pedestrians, the street is located near several tram stops and bus lines that connect it to major parts of Nuremberg.

The multilingual inscriptions on each pillar promote cultural inclusion and emphasize the universal nature of human rights across different linguistic communities.
