Abstract
The chapter “Computer Development in Germany” provides an overview of Zuse’s relay, vacuum tube, and transistor machines. The chapter also mentions his “Plankalkül” programming language and his special-purpose computers. Relay and vacuum tube computers from Darmstadt, Dresden, Göttingen, Jena, and Munich are presented, as well as the first German transistor computers (Siemens, Standard Elektrik Lorenz, and Telefunken). In Germany there were also analog computers (e.g., from Telefunken and Dornier). The chronological table lists early German relay, vacuum tube, and transistor computers.
