Bamberg Unveils Human Rights News
In a significant move towards promoting culture and human rights, the city of Bamberg has officially opened its new urban space, the Platz der Menschenrechte (Human Rights News). The 8,000 square meter square, located near the service building of the cultural department and cultural office, as well as the "Kunstkracher" art school, was unveiled to the public at 1:58 PM on Saturday.
The construction of the square was supported by approximately 2 million euros from the "National Projects of Urban Development" (NPS) funding program, with an additional 4.1 million euros contributed by the Free State through urban development funding. The initiative to name the square came from the Bamberg Amnesty group, standing for those who protest against violence and injustice, and who stand up for refugees and the homeless.
Mayor Andreas Starke emphasized that the Platz der Menschenrechte is the heart of a new neighborhood, and not just an architectural masterpiece, but a strong statement for values in a time when human rights news are under pressure worldwide. The opening ceremony was attended by Mayor Andreas Starke, State President Florian Luderschmid, and numerous representatives from politics, administration, and civil society.
State President Luderschmid praised the architectural achievement and the successful partnership. He found the naming of the square especially significant due to a global human rights news crisis. Nadja Malak, Director of Movement Building at Amnesty International Germany, echoed this sentiment, stating that the naming of the square is a powerful symbol in a time when freedom of expression and assembly is severely restricted in many places.
Culture Commissioner Ulrike Siebenhaar sees great potential for cultural events on the square, such as flea markets, citizen's festivals, open-air cinemas, and theater. The new cultural department opened its doors for the first time at its new location, presenting a photo exhibition by Marian Lenhard.
The opening event was a vibrant affair, with the city's music school providing the musical kick-off, followed by improv theatre, street performances, a children's reading, open studio by the art school "Kunstkracher", and music from acts like Boxgalopp, Captain Fusion, or Bambägga. Food and drinks were provided by the Ost citizen's association, and the event was rounded off by a playmobile for children's entertainment.
The square is equipped with modern amenities, including trees, cisterns, and geothermal energy. Live art actions by cultural stipendiaries Karina Liutaia and Cem Sonel also left a lasting impression. The Lagarde area, where the square is located, is being transformed into the largest inner-city development area in Bamberg, covering around 20 hectares.
In a city where human rights violations are openly justified in many places, the Platz der Menschenrechte stands as a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of community action. The square is a space for meeting, culture, and city life, and a reminder of the importance of upholding human rights news in our society.
