The Wolfenbüttel Ritter-Akademie was a German knight academy founded in Salzdahlum by Anthony Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg in 1688, and from 1712 it housed the first independent library in Germany. The architect Herman Korb was responsible for the building which features a rotunda for the library.

It was a school for the children of the German aristocracy.

Leonhard Christoph Sturm taught here 1694–1702 and Anton Wilhelm Amo, the Nzema Philosopher studied here 1717–1721.
