The company's origins can be traced back to 1700. At that time, the Munich businessman Christian Reitter ran a trading business that is considered to be the direct predecessor of today's company. Around 1870 the business came into the possession of Alois Dallmayr from Wolnzach , to whom the company owes its current name. He sold the business to Therese and Anton Randlkofer in 1895. Under the management of Therese Randlkofer, a remarkable businesswoman at the time, the parent company developed into one of the leading delicatessen stores in Europe with 15 purveyor titles . Dallmayr's coffee era began in 1933: In that year, the Bremen coffee merchant Konrad Werner Wille came to Munich and set up a special department for coffee in the “Delikatessenhaus Dallmayr”, which is still in operation today. a. became internationally known through television advertising for Dallmayr Prodomo . The coffee shop became so successful that in 1985 the independent subsidiary Alois Dallmayr Kaffee OHG spun off was the "Coffee & Tea" business is the (most today) of the company. The Nestlé Group also took a 51% stake in Alois Dallmayr Kaffee OHG , whose stake was reduced to 25% in 2003. In July 2015, it was agreed that Alois Dallmayr KG would buy back Nestlé's remaining shares in its coffee division, but cooperation in sales will continue. This means that the company is now completely family-run again.
