The Gerechtigkeitsgasse ("Justice Alley") is one of the principal streets in the Old City of Bern, the medieval city center of Bern, Switzerland. Together with its extension, the Kramgasse, it is the heart of the inner city.[1] Hans Gieng's most famous fountain figure, the statue of Lady Justice on the Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen, commands the view of the street's gentle slopes and curves.[1]
The Gerechtigkeitsgasse and its buildings are a heritage site of national significance[2] and part of the UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Site that encompasses the Old City.
