In 2005, the city of Karlsruhe donated the Square of Fundamental Rights to the Federal Constitutional Court as part of its bid to become European Capital of Culture in 2010. The city council decided to install the signs on the square between the Zirkel and the castle, thus declaring this place the Square of Fundamental Rights. A second version of these signs was installed at various locations throughout Karlsruhe.

On October 2, 2005, the place of fundamental rights was inaugurated. Jochen Gerz intended to bring a complicated topic to life and put together 48 concise statements on law and justice on signs.

Great total work of art, the light elements of which come into their own in the evening darkness. In my opinion, there is too much text on the signs - I can hardly imagine that even those who are more interested here have a lot of desire to study the texts. A little more catchy forms of representation might have been better ...
