1935, which makes it one year earlier than Alan Turing (but Zuse's idea was based on an externally stored program on punched tape while Turing's idea was based on an internally stored program which was more flexible).

Zuse's computer was the first computer that operated on floating point numbers, instead of fixed point numbers (which meant his computers were far more usable for scientific and engineering purposes than most other computers, until the IBM 704 was built in 1954).
