Since TELEFUNKEN was founded in 1903, the brand has been viewed as a gem of German industry. As a pioneer in the development of techniques for wireless information transmission, TELEFUNKEN quickly became a successful enterprise under Kaiser Wilhelm II, having a significant influence on the development of radio and communication engineering worldwide. With transmitters and receivers for radiotelegraphy and radio broadcasting, as well as both wireless and wired transmission technology, the foundation was also laid for taking over a leading role in the development of radar engineering. One of the greatest successes achieved by the TELEFUNKEN brand was, moreover, the invention of color television based on the PAL system, which even today is still at the core of every TV set in many parts of the world.
