Konrad Zuse - 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). Born in Berlin, Germany, Zuse graduated in engineering from the Technische Hochschule Berlin-Charlottenburg (today the Technische Universität Berlin or Technical University of Berlin) in 1935. He started work at the Henschel aircraft factory in Dessau, but only one year later he resigned from his job to build a programmable machine. Working in his parents' apartment in 1938, his first attempt, called the Z1, was a binary electrically driven mechanical calculator with limited programmability, reading instructions from punched tape. The Z1 never worked well, though, due to the lack of sufficiently precise parts. The Z1 and its original.
