The Z5 was an electromechanical relay computer designed by Konrad Zuse and manufactured by Zuse KG following a commission from Ernst Leitz GmbH in Wetzlar in 1950. Delivered in July 1953, it was the first commercial built-to-order mainframe in Germany. The machine was purchased to support the design and optimisation of optical lens systems, a computationally intensive task that had previously required large teams of human computers.
