Zcom Zuse Computer Museum

A world without smartphones, tablets, or laptops – unimaginable today. But where did it all begin? Dive into the exciting history of the computer and meet brilliant minds like the engineer and artist Konrad Zuse. Not only did he graduate high school in Hoyerswerda, but he also invented the first computer. Be amazed by the size of the old Zuse computers and the miniature worlds of the microchip era. Discover the creative achievements of various computer pioneers and understand both the opportunities and risks of our digital world. Don’t worry, it won't be too theoretical. Join us on a rapid journey of discovery from Zuse to Android. On the ground floor of an eleven-story apartment building, the legacy of the "father of the computer" is impressively brought to the forefront in the Zuse City of Hoyerswerda. The museum, designed in industrial style, offers incredible success stories on almost m² of barrier-free exhibition space. In addition to the collection of mainframe computers, home computers, and gaming consoles, numerous interactive stations and hands-on objects invite you to participate. We combine technology, society, and art in an innovative exhibition concept that was awarded the Saxon Museum Prize in 2017.
