Garching bei München (, ) or Garching is a town in Bavaria, near Munich. It is the home of several research institutes and university departments, located at Campus Garching.

==History== ===Spatial urban planning=== 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.
