History

The company was founded by Bremen-born entrepreneur Geraldo Dannemann, who emigrated to Brazil in 1872. In 1873, he opened a cigar factory with six employees in São Félix.

In 1922, Dannemann merged with the Stender company to form Companhia de Charutos Dannemann.

The Second World War brought significant challenges, disrupting transatlantic trade due to economic embargoes. During this time, Dannemann's operations in Brazil were expropriated and managed by the Brazilian bank, Banco do Brasil.

After the war, Geraldo regained possession of the company; however, in 1954, he filed for bankruptcy.

During the transitional period, the brand was overseen by the Minden-based Melitta group of companies until it was sold to Liechtenstein. In 1988, the Burger Group bought the German trademark rights for Dannemann and took over Dannemann GmbH in Lübbecke.

In 1994, the flavored cigarillo brand, Dannemann Moods, was launched.

Based on the Centro Cultural Dannemann in Bahia, Brazil, the Centro Dannemann was founded in Brissago, Switzerland at the beginning of 2002.

The Centro Cultural Dannemann was established in Bahia, Brazil, which led to the founding of Centro Dannemann in Brissago, Switzerland, in the beginning of 2002.
