Gerechtigkeitsspirale (German: "spiral of justice") is a relief carving of a poem at the pilgrimage church of St. Valentin in Kiedrich, in Hesse, Germany. The text is carved in the form of a spiral on the front of one of the pews for the congregation, creating possibly the earliest known shape poem in the German language.[1] The carving is one of several decorative designs on the pews in the church, and was created in 1510 by the master carpenter Erhart Falckener.
