Knigge is a Lower Saxon noble family that belongs to the Calenberg nobility. Most family members today bear the historically justified name "Baron (Baroness) Knigge".

The Knights Knigge also became the owners of Bredenbeck Castle in 1312, which they expanded into a heavily fortified moated castle and lived in from 1338. In 1370, Duke Magnus II enfeoffed the Kniegen knights with another moated castle in Leveste. This was demolished in 1425 after an agreement between Duke Bernhard I and the city council of Hanover, as the city's citizens feared the nearby meeting place of knights ready for war. A moated castle was built in place of the castle, from which the baroque Levester manor house was created from 1728-1732 as an originally three-winged complex, which - like the estates in Pattensen and Bredenbeck - is still owned by the Barons Knigge. Due to the ownership of the estates in Bredenbeck (Burggut and Schlossgut), Leveste and Pattensen, the family belongs to the knightly nobility of the Calenberg countryside.

Adolph Franz Friedrich Ludwig Freiherr Knigge (1752-1796), one of the most important members of the family, came from the Hanover branch. He was the author of the well-known work About Dealing with People, which was first published in Hanover in 1788. From 1790 he was chief captain and first scholar of the cathedral school in Bremen. He died there in 1796 and was buried in Bremen Cathedral. His tombstone can still be seen there today.
