Looks like my first answer got to Jochen directly instead
of to this list, so again:

At the FH-Karlsruhe the last fully working Zuse Z22 is preserved.
http://pl.attitu.de/zuse/Welcome.html
(the homepage is quite old, but so is the Z22)
And there was an article about this Z22 in c't magazine 20/2002.
Last Wednesday the 4. Konrad-Zuse-Symposium was held there
with various interesting talks. The agenda is somewhere
on the net you should find it by googling for
"Konrad Zuse Symposium".
Most visitors left shortly after the talks (only 4 visitors plus
the 2 operators where left in the computer-room), so there was
plenty of time chatting with the operators and listening
to the Z22. :-)
Yes "listening", there is a speaker connected to the accumulator
of the Z22, you can actually hear the computer compute.
They even demonstrated a "music program" for it written in the
sixties.
If you want to visit the Z22 try to contact Helmut Kammerer or
Hans Baumann. They are the operators since 1962 and probably know
everything about the machine...
