          Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg[a] (c.&#;– – 3 February ) was a German inventor and craftsman who invented the movable-typeprinting press.

          Though movable type was already in use in East Asia, Gutenberg's invention of the printing press[2] enabled a much faster rate of printing. The printing press later spread across the world, and led to an information revolution and the unprecedented mass-spread of literature throughout Europe.

          It had a profound impact on the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, and humanist movements.
