Konrad Zuse Born June 22, 1910, Berlin-Wilmersdorf; German inventor of pre-war electromechanical binary computer designated Z1 which was destroyed without trace by wartime bombing; developed two more machines before the end of the war but was unable to convince the Nazi government to support his work; fled with the remains of Z3 to Zurich where he developed the Z4 which was successfully used at ETH. Developer of a basic programming system known as "Plankalkül" with which he designed a chess playing program. Education and Experience: By 1927 Konrad Zuse had enrolled at the Technical University in Berlin-Charlottenburg and began his working career as a design engineer (Statiker) in the aircraft industry (Henschel Flugzeugwerke) and by 1935 he had completed a degree in civil engineering. He remained in Berlin from the time he finished his degree until the end of the war in 1945, and it was during this time that he constructed his first digital computers. He later formed his own company for the construction and marketing of his designs. Honors and Awards: Honorary Degrees;

He entered the Technisches Hochschule of Berlin- Charlottenburg in 1927 where he took courses in civil engineering. It was these studies in engineering which led Zuse to become interested in developing a mechanical device for calculating around 1934. He found that he had to spend many hours [4]:- ... working through the long statics calculations which are so important in the training of civil engineers... After graduating Zuse joined the Henschel Aircraft Company where he worked on stress analysis. In particular he studied the stresses caused by vibrations of an aircraft's wing. His work again involved a great deal of calculation and so, to help him perform these calculations, Zuse built his Z1 computer in his parents living room. He wrote:- I started in working independently and without knowledge of other developments going on around me. In fact, I hadn't even heard of Charles

SCHED A PERSONAGGI KONRAD ZUSE Lo Z3 che si trova al museo di Monaco di Baviera IL PRIMO COMPUTER NACQUE IN GERMANIA, a BERLINO Konrad Zuse nel 1942 L'ingegner Konrad Zuse cominciò i suoi studi a Berlino nel 1935. E conseguì brillanti risultati, anticipando di alcuni anni le macchine costruite dai colleghi statunitensi di MATTEO SOMMARUGA Gli studi sulla possibilità di risolvere con l'ausilio delle macchine i pesanti calcoli necessari all'ingegneria risalgono al periodo compreso fra le due guerre mondiali. I risultati si concretizzarono nella realizzazione dei calcolatori elettromeccanici, considerati i progenitori degli attuali computer. Contrariamente a quanto si crede, il primo di questi progetti in grado di soddisfare le caratteristiche di un moderno elaboratore non vide la luce nel campus di un'università americana, ma nel più modesto soggiorno di una famiglia berlinese. Konrad Zuse, il suo inventore, dovette aspettare ancora molti anni prima che la comunità scientifica internazionale gli riconoscesse il merito di molte intuizioni, alcune delle quali vennero del tutto ignorate per dover poi essere riscoperte a distanza di decenni. Una sorte non migliore toccò del resto a Charles Babbage, il matematico inglese che a metà del XIX secolo avviò i primi tentativi in questa direzione. I suoi progetti non trovarono un'applicazione pratica dovendosi scontrare con problemi tecnici agli inizi dell'800 irrisolvibili, e il suo nome cadde nell'oblio. Quando nel 1935 Zuse intraprese i primi esperimenti, non aveva nemmeno la vaga idea di ripercorrere una strada già battuta. Ne sarebbe venuto a conoscenza solo successivamente, quando un impiegato del Patent Office britannico gli mostrò alcuni disegni. In maniera analoga il giovane scienziato tedesco si trovava all'oscuro del lavoro che veniva compiuto quasi parallelamente in Germania e negli Stati Uniti. Egli stesso, mentre fra le mura di casa si dedicava allo Z1, la prima delle sue macchine, aveva deciso di mantenere segreto il progetto.

People ASCII-HTML Binary Boolean ... Home Konrad Zuse (1910 - 1995) Before George Stibitz began fiddling with old tin cans and batteries in 1938, or Claude Shannon wrote his masters thesis, Konrad Zuse was already labouring away in the cramped living room of his parent's Berlin apartment. Zuse knew little of Bush 's Differential Analyser, was almost completely unaware of Babbage 's Analytical Engine theories, and had never heard of George Boole , and yet he set out to develop a general-purpose computer, designed to operate on Boolean principles It seems the time had simply come. A civil engineering student at Technische Hochschule in 1934, Zuse - much like Shannon and Stibitz - soon became weary of the long hours of boring linear calculations that went with the job - there had to be a better way, he decided. This was the 20th century, there ought to be a machine that could take over the tedious calculations, a machine that could perform any mathematical computation he needed, no matter how complex or convoluted. There wasn't, so Zuse set out to build one.

Konrad Zuse Konrad Zuse werd in 1910 in Duitsland geboren en werkte in zijn jonge jaren als ingenieur bij de Henschel vliegtuigfabrieken in de buurt van Berlijn. Omdat hij de eindeloze en dagelijks terugkerende berekeningen die hij daar moest maken 'beledigend voor het menselijk intellect' vond, besloot hij een machine te ontwerpen die dat klusje kon uitvoeren. "I started in 1934, working independently and without knowledge of other developments going on around me. In fact, I hadn't even heard of Charles Babbage when I embarked on my work," schreef hij later. Binnen vier jaar zag Zuses 'Z1' het levenslicht. Dit prototype van de moderne computer nam bijna de hele woonkamer van Zuses ouderlijk huis in beslag, en stond oorverdovend te ratelen als hij bezig was. De machine was volledig mechanisch en werd met behulp van een ponsband geprogrammeerd. De Z1 in de huiskamer van Zuses ouders in Berlijn De Z1 loste weliswaar wiskundige sommen op, maar was verre van volmaakt. Zuse had handgemaakte mechanische schakelaars gebruikt, in plaats van elektromagnetische, waardoor de berekeningen onnauwkeurig waren. Maar het volgende model, de Z2, gebruikte elektromagnetische onderdelen uit telefoons en zijn opvolger, de Z3, was in feite de eerste, functionerende elektronische rekenmachine. Hij verscheen in 1941. De Z3 werd geprogrammeerd met behulp van ponskaarten en had een opslagcapaciteit van 64 getallen van elk 22 binaire cijfers. De getallen werden op een toetsenbord ingevoerd en men las de uitkomst van een paneel af, dat getallen met vier decimalen kon weergeven. Behalve standaard-operaties als optellen, aftrekken, vermenigvuldigen en delen, kon de machine ook worden geprogrammeerd. De snelheid van de Z3 lag rond de vijftien tot twintig operaties per seconde... Wow!

World Exclusive! The Life and Work of Konrad Zuse by Prof. Horst Zuse Many encyclopedias and other reference works state that the first large-scale automatic digital computer was the Harvard Mark 1, which was developed by Howard H. Aiken (and team) in America between 1939 and 1944. However, in the aftermath of World War II it was discovered that a program controlled computer called the Z3 had been completed in Germany in 1941, which means that the Z3 pre-dated the Harvard Mark I. The Z3's architect was a German engineer called Konrad Zuse, who developed his first machine, the Z1, in his parents' living room in Berlin in 1938. Although based on relays, the Z3 was very sophisticated for its time; for example, it utilized the binary number system and could perform floating-point arithmetic. Zuse was an amazing man who was years ahead of his time. To fully appreciate his achievements, it is necessary to understand that his background was in construction and civil engineering (not electronics). The Z1 computer. In the foreground is the manual crank for driving the clock frequency by hand.

Konrad-Zuse-Homepage auf der GI Web-Site Inhalt Zur Person Ziele und Aufgaben der Konrad-Zuse-Gesellschaft Mitglieder Sponsoren ... Weitere Kenndaten zur Konrad-Zuse-Gesellschaft Zur Person Konrad Zuse ist der Schöpfer der ersten vollautomatischen, programmgesteuerten und frei programmierbaren, in binärer Gleitpunktrechnung arbeitenden Rechenanlage. Die Rechenanlage Z3 war 1941 betriebsfähig. Nur die wenigsten wissen: Noch vor dem amerikanischen Harvard-Professor Howard H. Aiken hat ein Deutscher den Computer erfunden. Der Bundespräsident Prof. Roman Herzog hat Zuse in seiner Laudatio anläßlich der Verleihung des Bundesverdienstkreuzes des Verdienstordens der Bundesrepublik Deutschland als "einen der größten deutschen Erfinder" bezeichnet. Besonders beeindruckt zeigte sich Herzog darüber, daß Zuse in einer Zeit, als Rationalisierung noch als etwas Riskantes betrachtet wurde, darauf hingewiesen hat, daß "lebendige, schöpferische Menschen ihr Leben nicht mit nüchternen Rechnungen verschwenden sollten". Damit habe er den technischen Fortschritt des 20. Jahrhunderts so vorangetrieben, wie Aristoteles dies schon vor 2500 Jahren vorausgesehen habe: "Daß der Mensch sich von fremdbestimmten Tätigkeiten befreit und sie Maschinen überläßt, um sich selbst stärker zu entfalten." Zuses Sohn, Dr. habil. Horst Zuse, ist Privatdozent an der Technischen Universität Berlin und lehrt dort das Fach "Praktische Informatik".
