About Adolf Freiherr Knigge

Adolph Franz Friedrich Ludwig Freiherr Knigge (16 October 1752 - 6 May 1796) was a German writer. In Germany, Knigge is best remembered for his book “Über den Umgang mit Menschen” (“On Human Relations”). Although the work is more of a philosophical treatise on the basis of human relations than a how-to guide to etiquette, the German term “Knigge” has come to mean “good manners ”. For that reason, Knigge’s ideas on human relations and etiquette have special force and are often quoted in German speaking countries.
