==History== ===Spatial urban planning=== [[File:Werner Heisenberg bust.jpg|thumb|upright|Bust of Heisenberg in his old age, on display at the [[Max Planck Society]] campus in Garching bei München]] Garching was small Bavarian village, until the [[Free State of Bavaria]] decided to implement a technology and urban planning policy whereby [[science]] should be clustered north of [[Munich]]. This [[urban planning]] policy was in line with the principles advanced by the International Congress of Modernist Architects (CIAM) in the 1933 [[Athens Charter]]. Garching was redeveloped in three spatially separated parts, to cover the urban functions of industry, habitation, and research. In 1959 a new residential quarter for [[Max Planck Society]] employees was constructed. In 1960 the [[Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics]] was established in Garching.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Urban Machinery: Inside Modern European Cities | editor1= Mikael Hård | editor2= Thomas J.

In 1966 the [[Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities]] established the [[Walther Meißner Institute for Low Temperature Research]] in Garching. In 1967 the TUM and the [[Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich]] (LMU) established a joint accelerator laboratory in Garching. In the same year the TUM moved its department of chemistry and its department of biology to Garching. The industry zone of Garching was built up in [[Garching-Hochbruck]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=Urban Machinery: Inside Modern European Cities | editor1= Mikael Hård | editor2= Thomas J.
