Second came Norway's Marte Olsbu with Veronika Vitkova of the Czech Republic in third place.
It was 24-year-old Dahlmeier's first Olympic medal, and she owed it in part to her faultless shooting.
She was a comfortable winner, with a gap of more than 24 seconds separating her from Olsbu who just managed to edge Vitkova in the silver medal duel.
