Founded in 1997, the museum preserves Germany's oldest operational magnetic drum computer LGP 30 and a complete IBM 1130 system with punch cards.

The exhibition spans 400 years of computational history, starting from Wilhelm Schickard's calculating machine through the microprocessors of the 1970s.
