I found:

1 definition found
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (06 Jun 01) [foldoc]:
Plankalkül
(Or "Plankalkuel" if you don't have umlauts). The first
programming language, by {Konrad Zuse}, ca. 1945. Zuse wrote
"Rechenplan allgemeiner Struktur" in 1944 which developed into
Plankalkül. Plankalkül included {array}s and {record}s and
used a style of {assignment} in which the new value appears on
the right.
Zuse wrote Plankalkül for his {Z3} computer (finished before
1945) and implemented it on there as well. Much of his work
may have been either lost or confiscated in the aftermath of
World War II.
