u/H0SS_AGAINST

Greetings. I am an academically trained Chemist with a minor in physics, manufacturing engineer by trade, and someone who holds the great scientific minds of the 20th century in the highest regard. I was enamored with quantum physics while obtaining my degree.

My wife, a physicist, and I are planning to visit central Europe in early September and I've always felt Munich would be on my bucket list because Pauli, Heisenberg, Planck etc once walked those same streets. Obviously Munich has a long and very rich cultural history but I have found it curious that academic "tourist" type attractions are not more prominent. I suppose these people did not attain the same level of celebrity status amongst the general population as Einstein; more people know Heisenberg from breaking bad than from an implicit limit on multi dimensional information accuracy across the universe.

We would be visiting the Deutsches Museum. I'd also visit Heisenberg's grave. Are there any other sites I should consider? Are there relatively unrestored buildings with the university that are open to the public? Heck, my dream would be to audit a lecture in the same hall those men once taught in.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
