Street of Human Rights

The Street of Human Rights is a pedestrian zone in Nuremberg lined with white concrete pillars that display articles from an international declaration. The pillars are evenly spaced and inscribed with text in several languages.

The installation was built in 1993 on land that once held a monastery and sections of medieval city walls. The artwork emerged as a response to the city's difficult past.

The street takes its name from a global declaration and marks this city's commitment to human dignity. Visitors can observe people pausing between the pillars to read the inscriptions as they pass through.

The street is accessible year-round and located near tram stops and bus lines. The area is flat and easy to walk through without major obstacles.

An Israeli artist designed the installation, creating a symbol of reconciliation and hope. The place connects a difficult past with a forward-looking vision.
