it is the communication tool of our time: email.\nMore than 350 billion emails are sent every day, an impressive figure that speaks for itself.\nWhat probably only a few people know: The first e-mail in Germany was received in Karlsruhe.<br\/>On August 3, 1984, an incredible 40 years ago, it arrived at what was then the University of Karlsruhe (TH), now the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).\nThis was the first time that a transatlantic connection was established between the American network CSNET (Computer Science Net) and the new Karlsruhe CSNET server via the forerunner of the Internet.\nTo mark the anniversary, we take a closer look at the history of e-mail in Karlsruhe.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wilkomen-in-csnet-michael-this-is-your-official-welcome-to-csnet\">Welcome to CSNET!\nMichael, This is your official welcome to CSNET. <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first German Internet e-mail was received on August 3, 1984 at 10:14 a.m. CEST by Michael Rotert at his address rotert@germany.csnet and the head of the project, <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Werner_Zorn\">Werner Zorn<\/a> (zorn@germany.csnet, <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Admin-C\">Admin-C<\/a>).\nIt had been sent one day earlier on August 2, 1984 at 12:21 p.m. CEST by Laura Breeden from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mit.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This is your official welcome to CSNET.\nWe are glad to have you aboard,&#8221; said the employee of the Coordination and Information Center of the American network CSNET (Computer Science Net) at Bolt Beranek &amp; Newman (BBN) in Boston, welcoming the new German members of the network and officially declaring the operational readiness of the German server.\n[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kit.edu\/kit\/pi_2014_15510.php\">KIT]<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-startschuss-fur-das-beliebteste-kommunikationsmittel-unserer-zeit\">Starting signal for the most popular means of communication of our time<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Computer Science Network (CSNET) was a computer network launched in the United States in 1981 to connect academic and research institutions that were unable to connect directly to the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) due to funding or licensing restrictions.\nARPANET was a computer network and was originally developed on behalf of the US Air Force from 1968 by a small group of researchers under the direction of MIT and the US Department of Defense.\nIt is the forerunner of today&#8217;s Internet.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CSNET, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), aimed to go beyond the military-funded and therefore severely restricted ARPANET to facilitate or even enable scientific communication nationally and internationally.\nIt was the first system to use the communication protocols that correspond to those of today&#8217;s Internet.\nThanks to the success of CSNET, the next steps were taken towards NSFNET, which became the backbone of the Internet a few years later.\nWith this first e-mail, the starting signal was given in Karlsruhe for the e-mail that is so commonplace and widely used today.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/karlsruhe.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Firefly-Ein-helles-freundliches-Bild-im-Stile-eines-Fotos-das-1984-aufgenommen-sein-koennte-zeigt-e.jpg\" alt=\"E-mail is the veteran among the communication media on the Internet.&#10;This is how Firefly imagines receiving the first e-mail.&#10;Photo: Image: AdobeFirefly - Patricia Bonaudo | karlsruhe.digital \/ AI-generated  \" class=\"wp-image-14189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/karlsruhe.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Firefly-Ein-helles-freundliches-Bild-im-Stile-eines-Fotos-das-1984-aufgenommen-sein-koennte-zeigt-e.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/karlsruhe.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Firefly-Ein-helles-freundliches-Bild-im-Stile-eines-Fotos-das-1984-aufgenommen-sein-koennte-zeigt-e-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/karlsruhe.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Firefly-Ein-helles-freundliches-Bild-im-Stile-eines-Fotos-das-1984-aufgenommen-sein-koennte-zeigt-e-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/karlsruhe.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Firefly-Ein-helles-freundliches-Bild-im-Stile-eines-Fotos-das-1984-aufgenommen-sein-koennte-zeigt-e-575x575.jpg 575w, https:\/\/karlsruhe.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Firefly-Ein-helles-freundliches-Bild-im-Stile-eines-Fotos-das-1984-aufgenommen-sein-koennte-zeigt-e-1463x1463.jpg 1463w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is how Firefly imagines receiving the first email.\nPhoto: Image: AdobeFirefly &#8211;

a milestone in the history of digital education.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He is a luminary in the field of information and communication technology.\nIn addition to his impressive professional career &#8211; including as founder and managing director of Xlink &#8211; and as managing director and board member of various Internet companies, he is a committed advocate for the success of the Internet in Germany on various national and international committees.\nHe also works as an expert for the EU, the UN and the US Department of Commerce.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for all those for whom the &#8220;short history&#8221; of the first Internet e-mail was too short, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.informatik.kit.edu\/downloads\/zu-30JahreInternet-EMail-V01-28Jul2014.pdf\">Werner Zorn&#8217;s commemorative publication on the 30th anniversary<\/a> is highly recommended.\nNot only is it a detailed chronicle with vivid illustrations and documents, readers will also learn some exciting details and facts, such as how not only a new communication technology but also a conflict that would divide the German Internet community for years to come was inevitably initiated with its introduction in Karlsruhe. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/karlsruhe.digital\/en\/?p=14201\">For all those who would like to know more about e-mail, we have compiled a collection of useless knowledge about e-mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cover picture: The registration confirmation from the American CSNET was the first email to be received in Germany.\nPhoto: Screenshot from the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\">commemorative publication by Prof. Dr. Zorn on the occasion of the 30th anniversary<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WhatsApp, Instagram and co. or not &#8211;
