	Konrad Zuse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zuse also designed a high-level programming language, the Plankalkül, allegedly in 1945, although this was a theoretical contribution, since the language was never actually implemented within his lifetime and did not directly influence early implemented languages.
		Zuse designed the first high-level programming language, Plankalkül, from 1941 to 1945, although he did not publish it in its entirety until 1972.
		Zuse died on December 18, 1995 in Hünfeld, Germany, near Fulda.

	Konrad Zuses Z3 in Detail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Konrad Zuse built the machine Z3 from 1939 to 1941 in the Methfesselstraße 7 in Berlin-Kreuzberg with some friends and a small support by the government.
		Konrad Zuse rebuilt the Z3 in 1960/61 in his Zuse KG in order to show the patent justice and the world the performance of this machine and to demonstrate this machine for advertising purposes.
		Konrad Zuse did not implement this feature in the Z3 because the memory of 64 words was too small for this.

	Konrad Zuse
		Konrad Zuse was born in Berlin in 1910.
		Zuse soon learned that one of the most difficult aspects of doing a large calculation with either a slide rule or a mechanical adding machine is keeping track of all intermediate results and using them in their proper place in later steps of the calc ulation.
		Zuse suddenly realized that, once you had the instuctions coded for the control mechanism, there was no longer any need for the calculating-plan form at all and it had become nothing more than a series of boxes acting like a memory.

	Z3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Konrad Zuse's Z3 was the first working programmable, fully automatic machine, whose attributes, with the addition of conditional branching, have often been the ones used as criteria in defining a computer.
		A fully functioning replica was built in the 1960s by the originator's company Zuse KG and is on permanent display in the Deutsches Museum.
		A patent application of Konrad Zuse, however, mentioned this concept almost a decade earlier in 1936, although the patent was rejected.

	TU Berlin - The shoulders on which we stand - Festschrift zur 125-Jahr-Feier der TU Berlin
		Konrad Zuse was born in Berlin on 22 June 1910.
		During Zuse's activities as structural engineer in an aeroplane factory, his aversion became so great that he handed in his notice after just one year so he could devote himself to the development of a machine that would perform these calculations automatically.
		Zuse gave a guest lecture during the 1953/54 winter term, and most importantly, the Z22 computing machine mentioned above started operations in 1958, so that the university which (in a roundabout way) had inspired Konrad Zuse to invent the computer could itself enter the new era at last.

		Konrad Zuse is popularly recognized in Germany as the inventor of the computer.
		Zuse had already been contemplating the possible uses for his machine, and his goal was the development of a programmable replacement for mechanical desktop calculators, for use at large or medium-sized companies.
		Zuse's patent application of 1941 for the computing machine Z3 was ultimately refused in 1967 by a German judge, who declared it to lack "inventiveness." The long delay between application and decision was due initially to the war and its aftermath.

	Konrad Zuse (1910 - 1995)
		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.
		Zuse decided to incorporate the mechanical memory of the Z1 in his next machine, but to replace mechanical signal routing devices with a relay-based unit.
		Never a man to give up easily, Zuse continued to work on his Z4 (essentially the same machine as the Z3, but with an increased memory of 32 bits), moving the machine all over the city to avoid the devastation of the Berlin blitz and discovery by allied troops.

	Zuse
		The main reason why Zuse succeeded in building his mechanical computer where Babbage had failed, was the fact that Zuse's Z1 was a binary machine with two position switches to represent 0 and 1.
		Some of Zuse's computers were destroyed in bombing raids near the end of the war although the Z3 was reconstructed in 1960 for display in a museum in Munich.
		Zuse began work on his Z4 computer in 1942, and it was almost complete when, due to continued air raids, it was moved from Berlin to Göttingen.

		The Z3 is sometimes claimed to be "first computer" as such, though this depends on complex and subtle definitional issues, as the machine was not truly general-purpose in the manner of later machines (see the article of history of computing for a thorough discussion).
		Zuse designed a high-level programming language, the Plankalkül, allegedly from 1941 to 1945, although he did not publish it until 1972.
		Due to financial problems, it was then sold to the Siemens AG company.

	History of Computers
		Zuse learned that one of the most difficult aspects of doing a large calculation is keeping track of all intermediate results and using them, in their proper place, in later steps of the calculation, Zuse realized that an automatic-calculator device would require three basic elements a memory, a control, and a calculator for the arithmetic.
		After Zuse constructed his first three digital computers during the war, he was unable to convince the Nazi government to support his work, for a computer based on electronic valves, the proposal was rejected on the grounds that the Germans were so close to winning the War that further research effort was not necessary.
		Zuse completed the first, fully functioning, electro-mechanical computer, which was able to complete his design for using relay type operations, called the Z2, in 1939.

		Although Zuse's test runs were mainly oriented towards the problems of statics, he explained to his bemused co-engineers that one day his machines would even be able to beat world champions at chess.
		Zuse was able, in the middle of the war and alongside his part-time work at the Henschel factory, to found an almost civilian company, the 'Zuse Ingenieurbuero und Apparatebau, Berlin'.
		Zuse got himself and his computer company through the war as well as he could - without ever receiving the protection and financial support accorded to urgent military matters.

	The Dead media Project:Working Notes:03.4
		Zuse's choice of a general purpose approach was based on his separation of the different elements: an arithmetic unit to do the calculations, a memory for storing numbers, a control system to supervise operations, plus input and output stages.
		Zuse was soon convinced it was the right approach, and this led to the design of the Z3, which was probably the first operational, general-purpose, programmable computer.
		Konrad Zuse, developer of the Z-1 through Z-4 machines was clearly one of those who foresaw the development of the computer and did something about it well before those whom we will acknowledge next year in Philadelphia.

		His greatest achievements were the completion of world's first working programmable computer in 1941 and the design of the first high-level programming language Plankalkül in 1945 (although the language was never actually implemented within his lifetime).
		However, its Turing-completeness was never envisioned by Zuse and only proven in 1998.
		Zuse received several awards for his work, and had many streets named after him.

	Raul Roja's article on Zuse
		Konrad Zuse is popularly recognized in Germany as the "father of the computer" and his Z1, a programmable automaton built from 1936 to 1938, has been called the "first computer" in the world.
		Zuse decided to build his first experimental calculating machine exploiting two main ideas: a) the machine would work with binary numbers; b) the computing and control unit would be separated from the storage.
		Zuse's approach is sounder, since it frees the programmer from the tedium of checking the bounds of his numbers before each operation.

	Zuse's Thesis - Zuse hypothesis - Algorithmic Theory of Everything - Digital Physics, Rechnender Raum (Computing Space, ...
		Zuse was the first to propose that physics is just computation, suggesting that the history of our universe is being computed on, say, a cellular automaton.
		Konrad Zuse (1910-1995; pronounce: "Conrud Tsoosay") not only built the first programmable computers (1935-1941) and devised the first higher-level programming language (1945), but also was the first to suggest (in 1967) that the entire universe is being computed on a computer, possibly a cellular automaton (CA).
		Zuse is careful: on page 337 he writes that at the moment we do not have full digital models of physics, but that does not prevent him from asking right there: which would be the consequences of a total discretization of all natural laws?

		Also, Zuse was completely unaware of any computer-related developments in Germany or in other countries until a very late stage, so he independently conceived and implemented the principles of modern digital computers in isolation.
		Today, the Z3 is widely acknowledged as being the first fully functional automatic digital computer, and Konrad Zuse is acclaimed by computer scientists as being the most admired and respected computer pioneer.
		The development of the Z4 and the Zuse Apparatebau from 1942 to 1945 in Berlin is described, and also the slightly modified architecture of the Z4 for the ETH-Zürich in 1950.

		Thus, the title chosen by Zuse for his 1941 patent application "Rechenvorrichtung" (which today appropriately would be translated as computing device, although calculating device keeps more of the original flavour) is in perfect accordance even with our contemporary use of technical terms.
		Konrad Zuse (1910-1995) is now internationally recognized as the inventor and creator of the first programme-controlled universal calculating device — in short: of the Computer.
		Although Zuse made his way as a manufacturer of computers in post-World War II Germany, he was only in later years (around 1965/1970) internationally recognized as being the pioneer of modern computers.
