In some parts of Europe, a product made in Germany is automatically a good product.
In fact, when looking for household appliances, you'll notice local shops using "originated from Germany" to promote some brands over the other. Especially Telefunken products.
Same thing applies to cars, where the public separates them into two categories: "German" and "shit".

Today Telefunken don't produce any products(they sell only their Brand-Licence to partners), if you buy for example a Telefunken-TV it is produced by Vestel(in Turkey). http://vestelinternational.com/en/corporate/vestel-group/ http://vestelinternational.com/en/corporate/vestel-group/ https://www.telefunken.com/company/ https://www.telefunken.com/company/ - Partner Alliance

Didn't work out as planned... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_Germany
