The imperial city printing company with the name "Typographische Gesellschaft" published the latest world events from 1784 , the first newspaper in Kempten, the successor of which was the Kemptner Zeitung . Ten years later, Tobias Dannheimer (1769–1861) acquired the print shop and bookstore.

In 1813 one was Steindruckerei for lithographs furnished. In the years 1840/47 the two volumes, Die Geschichte der Fürsteten Grafschaft Kempten by Johann Baptist Haggenmüller, were published by Dannheimer-Verlag. In 1861 the founder Tobias Dannheimer died. In 1916 Casimir Wassermann acquired the company, whose son-in-law and bookseller Karl Edele took over the business in 1925.

Towards the end of the Second World War , the company was officially shut down and the machines were dismantled to replace a bombed-out printing plant in Augsburg. In the post-war period, the publishing house was managed by trustees and tenants until 1948. In 1949 Karl Edele took over again and hired his descendant Herbert Edele in 1953 as a book trade apprentice. In the years 1960 to 1975, the company headquarters at Rathausstrasse 5 in Kempten were expanded and converted several times .

In 1963 Herbert Edele took over the company. Expansions followed in the same decade; So the Kaufbeurer bookstore Schön was taken over, which has been called Bücher Edele since its move to new business premises . In 1980 the paperback shop opened at Fischerstraße 25 in Kempten.

From 1982 the company returned to its publishing activities and published the title “Kempten anno dazumal” by the architect Sepp Zwerch . The company's name was changed to a limited liability company in 1983. One year later, the main business from Rathausstrasse and the paperback shop moved to its new company headquarters in Bahnhofstrasse in Kempten.

In 1989, on behalf of the city of Kempten, the specialist publication History of the City of Kempten was published . In 1996 Frank Edele, who had become managing director in 1992, opened bookstores in Memmingen and Oberstdorf under the name Bücher Edele . At the turn of the millennium, the bookstore on Bahnhofstrasse was expanded and modernized from almost 500 to 1,600 square meters. In 2006, Bücher Edele opened in Oberstaufen .

The branch in Kaufbeuren is scheduled to close on August 1, 2019.
