The company was founded in 1822 by Johann Andreas Mollenhauer (1798–1871) in Fulda. In 1961, Bernhard Mollenhauer took over the business.[1]

The company produces recorders for beginners and handmade instruments for soloists. In an effort to develop a renaissance-style recorder for use by beginners, Adriana Breukink developed the Adri's Dream recorder[2] in collaboration with Mollenhauer in 1999.[3] This line was later expanded to include Dream Edition recorders for more advanced players.
