Then as Now, Indulgence fit for a King The Alois Dallmayr parent house in Munich has a more than three-century history. Starting from here, you can embark on a walk through past…

	1870 Alois Dallmayr The business is given the name it bears to this day by the owner and merchant Alois Dallmayr from Wolnzach in der Hallertau. Picture: Photograph of Alois Dallmayr

	1895 A Woman in Charge Alois Dallmayr sells his house and store to Anton Randlkofer. After his death only two years later, his widow Therese Randlkofer takes over responsibility for running the company. A sensation at the time: a woman company head!

	Around 1900 Supplier to the Royal Court Thanks to the leadership of the industrious Therese Randlkofer, Dallmayr is soon one of the finest delicatessens in Europe. The business is awarded the title of "königlich bayrischer Hoflieferant" (Supplier to the Royal Bavarian Court), and counts the German emperor's court as well as 14 other European royal courts among its customers.

	1912 Upswing and Expansion The business is expanded to more than twice its original size. Around 70 people are now employed here. Picture: Dallmayr delicatessen (interior view)

	1931 Hard Times The poor economic conditions still prevailing after Black Friday pose a difficult challenge to Dallmayr. The delicatessen searches for another field of business - and chooses coffee. Picture: Dallmayr delicatessen (exterior view)

	1933 Beginning of the Coffee Era Konrad Werner Wille, an only 19-year-old coffee specialist from Bremen, establishes a special department for coffee at Dallmayr. He purchases the raw coffee, stands at the roasting machine himself and organises sales. The Dallmayr coffee brand is born. Picture: Konrad Werner Wille (left) at a coffee tasting

	1940s In Ruins War means catastrophe for Dallmayr: The parent house on Dienerstraße is completely destroyed. Paul Randlkofer and Konrad Werner Wille devote their energy to the rebuilding effort. Picture: The Dallmayr parent house, destroyed by the war, in 1945

	1950s Reconstruction and initial Successes The Dallmayr house shines in new glory with its artistic facade. The coffee branch develops successfully - and the company's good reputation soon extends equally to the delicatessen and to the coffee. Picture: Dallmayr parent house (exterior view)

	1960s Founding of Alois Dallmayr Vending Service Dallmayr is one of the first companies in Germany to develop high-quality products suitable for use in dispensers and vending machines. This lays the cornerstone for the Alois Dallmayr Vending Service. Konrad Werner Wille creates the specialty named prodomo, which quickly wins the hearts of coffee lovers all over Bavaria.

	1977 New Management Wolfgang Wille, the son of Konrad Werner Wille, and Georg Randlkofer, the great-grandson of Anton and Therese Randlkofer, take over management of the company.

	Today Dallmayr coffee with its top product prodomo, counts among the leading brands on the German coffee market. New products in the style of the times, such as Dallmayr Crema d´Oro and Dallmayr Espresso d´Oro, expand the product line. The Dallmayr Vending Service is developing into the leading vendor in Germany - with a dense service network and more than 40,000 installed dispensers and vending machines. The company is also expanding internationally by purchasing operations in Austria, Switzerland and in eastern European companies.		The Dallmayr delicatessen is a major attraction: It draws more than 1.5 million visitors from all over the world each year, and just as many Munich residents visit this institution at the heart of the city. Outlook The two bronze emblems on the facade of the house represent a promise of quality - quality that the traditional family company obliges itself to uphold. Nothing will change about this in the future Picture: Dallmayr parent house (exterior view)
