Relatively little known outside of Germany, Konrad Zuse realized the first functioning computer in 1941 and also developed with his so-called Plankalkül in 1943-1945 the first high-level programming language, However, his inventions were overshadowed by World War II, and his work was overtaken in the public mind by the works of Aiken and von Neumann. This essay, a shortened and revised version of a eulogy by the author in December 1996 at the celebration of Zuse's 80th birthday at his former alma mater, the Technical University of Berlin, gives an overview of Zuse's work and puts his contributions in context.
