The instrument company was continued by August Zimmermann until 1936. The publishing house became the sole property of Wilhelm Zimmermann. He published all of Niccolò Paganini's guitar compositions and a large part of his chamber music works, which were mainly edited by Erwin Schwarz-Reiflingen, Paul Bulatoff and Kurt Schumacher . He also included jazz music in his program and published numerous compositions by Nikolai Karlowitsch Medtner . After his death the publishing house passed into the hands of his widow Edith Zimmermann, b. Krieckler (1900–1975) about.
