Nemetschek History: How it Began
1963
Georg Nemetschek, a certified engineer, founds the “engineering firm for the construction industry” in Munich. In the beginning, the firm specializes in structural design, from the design and calculation to the construction of structural systems in building and civil engineering projects. The engineering firm is awarded contracts for industrial construction, bridges and residential construction.
1968
As one of the first in the industry, Georg Nemetschek’s engineering firm uses computers in the construction and planning of buildings. The firm develops engineering software, initially only for in-house use.
1977
Programmable desktop computers, the precursor of the personal computer, are available for the first time at affordable prices. The Nemetschek engineering firm takes advantage of this opportunity and sells “Programmsystem Statik 97/77”, a software product for design engineering.
1980
At the Hanover tradeshow, Nemetschek Engineering presents a software package for integrated calculation and design of standard components for solid construction. For the first time ever, this software package makes it possible to use CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) on microcomputers.
For many years, this product remains unique on the market. For Nemetschek, it is an essential step towards attaining market leadership in the use of CAD in the construction industry.

In 1963, certified engineer Georg Nemetschek attended a programming course for the “program-controlled electronic computing system ZUSE Z 23”. Construction engineer Georg Nemetschek was thrilled by this new and forward-looking computer technology. Konrad Zuse developed ZUSE Z 23 in 1959 as a digital computer based entirely on transistors. |
