Founder Gerhard Dannemann moved to Brazil in 1872, 21 years young, and changed his name to Geraldo Dannemann.
In 1873 he built his first cigar factory in São Félix.
Between 1910 and 1921, he built a cigar empire in the state of Bahia with 4,000 employees, spread over 7 locations.

Geraldo's life's work barely survived the First World War (1914-1918).
Due to the (war) problems in Europe, this important sales market was closed.
Financial problems forced Dannemann to merge with Stender in 1922 (after his death) and the company was known as "Companhia de Charutos Dannemann."

The Second World War (1939-1945) marked the end of Dannemann.
The economic embargo on transatlantic trade ended everything and an expropriation followed.
The Brazilian bank "Banco do Brasil" took over the company.
After the war "Companhia de Charutos Dannemann" was able to get everything back but had to file for bankruptcy in 1954.
The brand name remained and was sold to the current owners of the Dannemann brand.

CENTRO CULTURAL DANNEMANN is the tobacco factory located in São Félix and is also used as a cultural center.
