Zuse, Konrad

(born June 22, 1910, Berlin, Ger.—died Dec. 18, 1995, Hünfeld) German engineer. In 1941 he constructed the first fully operational program-controlled electromechanical binary calculating machine, or digital computer, called the Z3. The machine predated Howard H. Aiken's Harvard Mark I but was destroyed by bombing during World War II. In 1945 he designed Plankalkül, one of the first attempts at a high-level programming language, which later influenced the development of ALGOL.
