The 25-year-old former France under-21 international has signed a five-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.
Haller, who is West Ham's fourth summer signing, scored 20 goals in 41 games for the German side last season.
The deal eclipses the £36m fee paid by the Hammers for Brazilian Felipe Anderson in 2018.
"I think it's a really good opportunity for me to be here," said Haller.
"It means a lot [to be record signing]. I felt this desire to sign me and I'm really happy to sign. It is an ambitious club, a nice club, a nice city and nice fans too.
"For me I can guarantee that I will give 100% for the club because the club has given me this confidence and I will try to give it back every day in every game.
"I know it's a big transfer and there is a lot of expectation around me, and I just want to make people proud of this transfer and I will give everything I have."
