A little bit of history…and why he created something new…
Konrad studied civil engineering in Technische Hochschule Berlin-Charlottenburg. After he graduated, He began to work at Henschel aircraft factory in Berlin. In that work, he had to do many calculations by hand…but he found it boring. He began to dream about a machine that can make his calculations.
Transforming a dream into a reality...
He had 2 attempts before his greatest achievement, the Z1 in 1938 and the Z2 in 1939. But they never worked well. The Z1 and its blueprints were destroyed during World War II. Finally he improved the Z1 and the Z2...and he created the Z3.
Learning from the mistakes…all about the Z3…
As you already know, his main invention was the Z3. The Z3 was an electromechanical computer. It was built with 2,000 relays. It was completed in Berlin, Germany in 1941. It was the world's complete computer. It stored the program code and data on a punched film. It only worked for a few minutes. It was faster than the Z1 and Z2.
The original Z3 was destroyed in 1943 during the bombing of berlin (in WWII). But there is a replica in the Deutsches Museum.
Zuse continued improving his inventions and creating new things…
