Spatial urban planning 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. In 1963
Technical University of Munich (TUM) published plans, whereby some TUM institutes would be moved to Garching. The
Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and the
Institute for Radiochemistry were both established in Garching in 1964. 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
LMU Munich 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. However, Garching only promoted itself as science city, by incorporating the local
nuclear reactor, affectionately known as "atomic egg", in the official coat of arms in 1967. After World War II the scientific publishing business started off slowly and had to be relaunched. A photojournalist lamented, that "photographers would rather go visit the kampas, the dangerous natives on the banks of the
Ucayali River, than Professor
Heisenberg in the
Max Planck Institute." ==Districts==
