The name of the overall company was changed to AEG-Telefunken Aktiengesellschaft on June 21, 1979. The "Aktiengesellschaft" [stock corporation] suffix was necessary due to a new law in the European Community. In 1979, AEG-Telefunken supplied the complete telecommunications and high-voltage equipment for the International Congress Center (ICC) Berlin, valued at DM 50 million. In January 1983 the company received an order for simulation systems for electronic battle simulation for training Tornado crews of the German Luftwaffe and Navy. The total value was at DM 37 million. The net worth: priceless.

Court composition proceedings were opened against the assets of AEG-Telefunken AG by the District Court in Frankfurt / Main on October 31, 1982. 

The District Court Frankfurt / Main confirmed the composition of AEG-Telefunken AG in accordance with the petition filed and closed the proceedings on September 19, 1984. 

Even during this difficult financial situation, AEG-Telefunken continued its business and founded AEG-Telefunken Nachrichtentechnik GmbH (ATN), in Backnang, Germany, together with Bosch, Mannesmann and Allianz Versicherungs-AG in 1981, as well as Telefunken electronic GmbH (TEG) in the field of electronic components (semiconductors) together with United Technologies Corporation (UTC), USA in 1982. 

On July 1, 1992, AEG-Telefunken and Deutsche Aerospace (Dasa) founded Telefunken Microelektronic GmbH (TEMIC), into which Telefunken Elektronic GmbH was integrated among others. But Telefunken was determined to prevail.

Effective March 31, 1983, the French group Thomson-Brandt S.A. took over 75 percent of the AEG-Telefunken shares in Telefunken Fernseh und Rundfunk GmbH, Hanover, Germany, including its German and foreign subsidiaries. The remaining 25 percent were supposed to follow on January 31, 1984.   Daimler-Benz AG entered the company in autumn of 1985 and decided in Autumn 1995 to dissolve the legal entity and transferred the remaining assets to EHG Electroholding GmbH. Thus, the history of the company was over. But not that of its brands.  

 A historical overview is offered by the company archive of AEG-Telefunken in the "Deutsches Technikmusem Berlin", Trebbiner Str. 9, 10963 Berlin.
