The "Knigge" describes the art of not embarrassing yourself in everyday life. When people think of the original author of the rules of etiquette, Adolph Freiherr Knigge, today, they most likely think of regulations describing proper behavior with a knife and fork. However, anyone who thinks that Knigge is just about dusty etiquette is mistaken. It is much more about respectful interaction, and this topic is arguably more relevant today than ever before.

Moritz Freiherr Knigge comes from the family of Adolph Freiherr Knigge and grew up on the family estate. As an author and speaker, he wants to bring people closer to good, human interaction, although, like his famous ancestor, he does not believe in excessive etiquette. For him, remaining human means "starting change where we can make a difference: with ourselves. A finger pointing at your own nose cannot point at others."
