• Thanks to this machine and its predecessors, Zuse has often been regarded as the inventor of the modern computer
• Zuse was also noted for the S2 computing machine, considered the first process control computer
• He founded one of the earliest computer businesses in 1941, producing the Z4, which became the world's first commercial computer
• From 1943 to 1945 he designed the first high-level programming language, Plankalkül
• In 1969, Zuse suggested the concept of a computation-based universe in his book Rechnender Raum (Calculating Space)
• Much of his early work was financed by his family and commerce, but after 1939 he was given resources by the Nazi German government
• Due to World War II, Zuse's work went largely unnoticed in the United Kingdom and the United States
