In the following years Dannenmayer wrote various theological writings, including a general introduction to church history: Introductio in historiam ecclesiasticam universalem (1778), a history of the dispute among Lutherans over the symbolic books : Historia succincta controversiarum de librorum symbolicorum auctoritate inter Lutheranos agitata (1780 ) and on the church history of the New Testament from Christ to Constantine the Great : Institutiones historiae ecclesiasticae Novi Testamenti: Period. I a Christo usque ad Constantinum Magnum (1783). The latter work was indexed by decree of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of January 17, 1820 .

Professor in Vienna
In 1786 Dannenmayer was appointed professor for church history at the University of Vienna .

Joseph wrote this award-winning Josephinist -oriented book, of which a four-volume German version appeared in 1828 as a guide to church history in Rottweil , as a standard textbook for all theological schools of the imperial hereditary lands .
