Moritz Freiherr Knigge comes from the family of Adolph Freiherr Knigge and grew up on the family's manor. As an author and speaker, he wants to bring a good, human sense of togetherness closer to people, though, like his famous ancestor, he thinks nothing of exaggerated etiquette. To him, remaining human means "starting change where we can make a difference: within ourselves. A finger pointed at one's own nose cannot point at others."
