THE HISTORY OF THE OBJECT. The history of Philips in Germany is a journey of innovation and resilience that began in 1891. Specializing in radio technologies since 1917, Philips marked its entry into the industry with the production of radio tubes and radioröhren. In 1927, the introduction of advanced network receivers led to the milestone of one million radios sold in 1932. The founding of Deutsche Philips GmbH in 1926 and the acquisition of C.H.F. Müller have consolidated its presence in Germany. Despite the initial restrictions, Philips launched iconic models such as "Aachen-Super W" and "Monoknopf-Modelle", combining design and functionality. Overcoming the challenges of the war, he created new factories, producing innovative post-war models such as the "Philetta" and "Super D78a". Philips, recognized for its contributions to the consumer electronics industry, continues to be a leader in technological innovation.
