Konrad Ernst Otto Zuse (German: [ˈkɔnʁaːt ˈtsuːzə]; 22 June 1910 – 18 December 1995) was a German civil engineer, pioneering computer scientist, inventor and businessman. His greatest achievement was the world's first programmable computer; the functional program-controlled Turing-complete Z3 became operational in May 1941.
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]
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.
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 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 ...
The Z22 was the seventh computer model Konrad Zuse developed (the first six being the Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5 and Z11, respectively).One of the early commercial computers, the Z22's design was finished about 1955.

Konrad Zuse developed the S1, the world's first process computer, used by Henschel to measure the surface of wings. 1943 Apr United Kingdom: Max Newman, C. E. Wynn-Williams and their team at the secret Government Code and Cypher School ('Station X'), Bletchley Park, Bletchley, England, completed the 'Heath Robinson'. This was a specialized ...
