The bicycle
The car
The computer (arguably, with the Zuse Z3)Spoiler: I'm German.
They invented you
Not the computer, but the first working programmable, fully automatic digital computer (which would be a stage in computer hardware.)
It would be Babbage's machine as mechanical computers precede digital ones and only if we only allow nonspecific turing complete machines.
It was the first programmable, fully automatic, digital, turing-complete computer (although they only found out the last part after Zuse died).
So I'd argue, it was the first computer in the sense we understand and use the word today.
