Konrad Zuse [1]

Konrad Zuse, (June 22, 1910 - December 18, 1995)
a German engineer and computer pioneer [2]. His greatest achievement was the world's first functional program-controlled Turing-complete computer, the Z3, in 1941. Between 1943 and 1945 Zuse designed the high-level programming language Plankalkül [3] , first published about in 1948. Since 1941 Zuse worked on chess playing algorithms and formulated program routines [4] in Plankalkül in 1945.

His Calculating Space [5] started the field of Digital Physics in 1969, later popularized and extended by Edward Fredkin, Jürgen Schmidhuber [6] and Stephen Wolfram [7].
