History of Computing in Germany Paul Stuijt 1623 - onwards This
chapter is a narrative on the higlights of historic computing events
in Germany
Computing,
in the sense of the main time line, in Germany started probably with
the design of a calculator by Schickard.

Wilhelm Schickard
Schickard designs a calculator and describes this to Kepler in several letters.
