In 2001, the publishing house was divided into the labels DuMont Literatur- und Kunstverlag, DuMont Reiseverlag and DuMont monte (calendar) according to its program pillars. At the end of 2004, Dumont Reiseverlag was taken over by Mair Verlag, which from then on traded as MairDumont ; Dumont monte was spun off as an independent sister publishing house under the name DuMont Kalenderverlag.

The name of the remaining trade publisher was changed back to DuMont Buchverlag GmbH & Co. KG in mid-2008.
