Experten fachsimpeln über historische Rechenmaschinen

Eine Computerfestplatte von Telefunken (An old hard disk Telefunken)

Greifswald (ddp). Mit der Entwicklung der ersten mechanischen Rechenmaschinen befassen sich seit gestern Mathematiker und Sammler auf einem internationalen Fachsymposium an der Greifswalder Universität. Mehr als 60 Experten aus Australien, Dänemark, Deutschland, Finnland, Großbritannien, Italien, Luxemburg, den Niederlanden und der Schweiz wollen während des dreitägigen Treffens über neue Erkenntnisse zum Bau wertvoller, dosenförmiger Rechenmaschinen, über die Geschichte von mathematischen Spielzeugen sowie über die Entwicklung der ersten Rechencomputer berichten. Im Mittelpunkt des bereits zum dritten Mal organisierten Treffens steht eine Tauschbörse, bei der vor allem historische Rechenschiebermodelle ihre Besitzer wechseln sollen. Zugleich öffnet das Institut für Mathematik und Informatik in Greifswald seine in Norddeutschland einzigartige Ausstellung mit mehr als 1000 Exponaten mit einem geschätzten Wert von weit über einer Million Euro. Vom Abakus-Rechenbrett bis zum 1938 von Konrad Zuse entwickelten Zuse-Rechner, der ersten programmgesteuerten Rechenanlage, reicht das Greifswalder Rechner-Repertoire.

Praktikant Roman Meissner (18) präsentiert im Greifswalder Institut für Mathematik und Informatik eine Computerfestplatte von Telefunken.
