Children's rights places
For many years, the city of Wiesbaden has been committed to implementing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It makes children's rights visible in various places and squares.
Making children's rights visible
The Children's Rights Monument in Adolfsallee was erected in 2004 to bring children's rights to the attention of the city's public. It was designed by children and realized with the artist Alexander Lihl. To mark the 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the city of Wiesbaden officially renamed this square "Platz der Kinderrechte" (Children's Rights Square).
Since then, the Office for Social Work has been working together with the German Child Protection Association on the project "Making children's rights visible in Wiesbaden". The plan is to create permanent and temporary art installations on children's rights at various locations, always with the participation of children and young people. In the long term, they are intended to create a kind of "Wiesbaden map of children's rights".
Current children's rights locations:
- Children's rights wall at the Schelmengraben district center
- Chestnut tree on the children's rights square
- Children's rights monument in Adolfsallee/Platz der Kinderrechte
