Heisenberg, Werner Karl, born 05-12-1901 in Würzburg, 
as the second son of the university professor Dr. August Heisenberg, a well-known Byzantinist, and his wife Anni, born Wecklein 
, were born in Würzburg. His older brother Erwin (1900–1965), who still joined the German Army in 1918, became a chemist after the First World War. Werner developed new theories in quantum mechanics about the behaviour of electrons which agreed with the results of previous experiments. Heisenberg is most famous for his “uncertainty principle”, which explains the impossibility of knowing exactly where something is and how fast it is moving. However, this principle is only significant for tiny particles such as electrons. . His father later became Professor of the Middle and Modern Greek languages in the University of Munich. It was probably due to his influence that Heisenberg remarked, when the Japanese physicist Hideki Yukawa 
discovered the particle now known as the meson and the term “mesotron” was proposed for it, that the Greek word “mesos” has no “tr” in it, with the result that the name “mesotron” was changed to “meson”. Heisenberg went to the Maximilian School at Munich 
until 1920, when he went to the University of Munich to study physics under the German theoretical physicist Arnold Sommerfeld
Wien, Pringsheim, and Rosenthal. In 1923 he took his Ph.D. at the University of Munich and then became Assistant to Max Born, Born was grandfather of Olivia Newton John.
Born was from Jewish descent and with the Nazi oppression he had to flee to England, he died age 87, on 05-01-1970 in Bad Pyrmond. Born worked at the University of Göttingen, and in 1924 Heisenberg gained the venia legendi at that University. From 1924 until 1925 he worked, with a Rockefeller Grant, with Niels Bohr 
, he died age 77, on 18-11-1962, at the University of Copenhagen, returning for the summer of 1925 to Göttingen. Heisenberg also wrote the plans for the first nuclear reactor in Germany 
and promoted such peaceful uses of nuclear energy. One of his hobbies is classical music: he is a distinguished pianist. In 1937 Heisenberg married Elisabeth Schumacher.
On the evening of 28-01-1937, at a musical gathering where he played piano accompanied by two violinist friends, thirty-five-year-old Heisenberg met twenty-one-year-old Elisabeth Schumacher — a bright and beautiful young woman who had just left art school to pursue a career in publishing. He was instantly taken with her, and she with his Beethoven. (What consonance Heisenberg would have felt in Margaret Fuller’s assertion that “all truth is comprised in music and mathematics.”) Brought together by music, Werner and Elisabeth quickly found that their very souls spoke a common language. Fourteen days later, they were engaged. They remained together until death did them part.They have seven children and live in Munich. Werner Heisenberg in Uniform mit Deutschem Sportabzeichen. 
Heisenberg retired in 1970. His health began to fail in 1973, and shortly thereafter he became seriously ill Werner Karl Heisenberg 
died in Munich at the age of 74, on 01-02-1976 and is buried with his wife Annie, born Wecklein, who died age 74 in 1945, on the Waldfriedhof in Munich.
