The Z3

The origin of all computers: The Z3 by Konrad Zuse (1910-1995). Developed during World War II, it was the first computer ever to perform calculations electromechanically, store them, and carry out initial programming.

But not only that: Unlike the norm at the time, Zuse did not use the decimal system but the binary number system.

The Reconstruction

The Swiss computer scientist Dr. Christof Traber has reconstructed the Z3 based on Zuse's 1941 patent. His reconstruction is now housed in the Enter Technikwelt and is currently probably the only fully functional and regularly publicly demonstrated Z3.

No registration required. Participation included in the entrance ticket.
