Human Rights Banner on the Law Firm's Facade

As part of a multi-week project by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Herschel Hauptschule in Nuremberg, students explored the significant role of human rights. We sponsored the project.

Making human rights tangible.

As part of a multi-week project by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Herschel Hauptschule in Nuremberg, students from class 7c explored the significant role of human rights and examined the human rights situation in the European Union and worldwide.

An engaging discussion round was held in our law firm's premises, during which critical aspects of human rights implementation were also highlighted. To visually impress the importance of human rights upon people's minds, the students designed huge banners on which they wrote human rights in their native languages and created hand and foot prints.

The idea behind creating the prints was that the development of the hand into a complex organ for touch and grasping was an essential prerequisite for human evolution. The impressive banner found a fitting place on the facade of our former law firm building in Nuremberg. 

After the law firm moved to its new location on Parsifalstrasse in Nuremberg and the branch office on Regensburger Strasse was opened, a corresponding new banner was designed there to keep the project alive and to highlight the importance of its purpose.
