Superplan was a high-level programming language developed between 1949 and 1951 by Heinz Rutishauser, the name being a reference to "Rechenplan" (i.e. computation plan), in Konrad Zuse's terminology designating a single Plankalkül program.
The language was described in Rutishauser's 1951 publication Über automatische Rechenplanfertigung bei programmgesteuerten Rechenmaschinen (i.e. Automatically created Computation Plans for Program-Controlled Computing Machines).[1]
Superplan introduced the keyword für as for loop, which had the following form ( being an array item):
Für i=base(increment)limit: + addend =
