Konrad Zuse was born in Berlin on 22 June 1910. [21] In 1912, his family moved to East Prussian Braunsberg (now Braniewo in Poland), where his father was a postal clerk.Zuse attended the Collegium Hosianum in Braunsberg, and in 1923, the family moved to Hoyerswerda, where he passed his Abitur in 1928, qualifying him to enter university.
The Z4 was arguably the world's first commercial digital computer, and is the oldest surviving programmable computer. [1]: 1028 It was designed, and manufactured by early computer scientist Konrad Zuse's company Zuse Apparatebau, for an order placed by Henschel & Son, in 1942; though only partially assembled in Berlin, then completed in Göttingen in the Third Reich in April 1945, [2] but not ...
The Z1 was a motor-driven mechanical computer designed by German inventor Konrad Zuse from 1936 to 1937, which he built in his parents' home from 1936 to 1938. [1] [2] It was a binary, electrically driven, mechanical calculator, with limited programmability, reading instructions from punched celluloid film.
It is now in the Konrad Zuse Museum in Hünfeld, Germany. [47] [48] Memory was halved to 32 words. Power consumption is about 400 W, and weight is about 30 kilograms (66 lb). [49] In 2008, Horst Zuse started a reconstruction of the Z3 by himself. [50] It was presented in 2010 in the Konrad Zuse Museum in Hünfeld. [51] [52]
Konrad Adenauer: Invented soya sausage (1916; "Kölner Wurst") [1] and, together with Jean and Josef Oebel, [coarse] wholemeal bread (1917; Kölner Brot). [2] Georgius Agricola: Named "the father of mineralogy". Wilhelm Albert: Invented the wire rope 1834. Kurt Alder: Discovery of the Diels–Alder reaction, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1950.
The Z2 was an electromechanical (mechanical and relay-based) digital computer that was completed by Konrad Zuse in 1940. [1] [2] [3] It was an improvement on the Z1 Zuse built in his parents' home, which used the same mechanical memory. In the Z2, he replaced the arithmetic and control logic with 600 electrical relay circuits, weighing over 600 ...

Now that Konrad Zuse is dead, the laser cutted but otherwise original Z1 replica is no longer usable. Schily ( talk ) 17:15, 10 August 2015 (UTC) [ reply ] Z3 doesn't required rewiring, but wasn't fully automatic either: program code was on film, but not (initial) constants - that were only added to Z4 (computer) in 1947.
