history

Teschwitz was first mentioned in a document in 1454. The place was part of the Falkenau rule . In the middle of the 19th century, between Teschwitz and Altsattl, the mining entrepreneur Johann David Starck began mining lignite and pyrites. He had a mineral plant built not far from the pits.

His son Johann Anton Starck had the hereditary tunnel of St. Anthony driven to further develop the coal deposits . At three kilometers, the longest historical tunnel in the Falkenau coalfield drained the pits from Teschwitz to Unter Reichenau in the Eger .

After the abolition of patrimonial Teschwitz formed from 1850 a district of the municipality Wudingrün in the district of Falkenau . In 1878 the municipality of Teschwitz was established with the Berghöfe district. In 1885 the Czech name Těšovice became the second official place name. In 1900 Teschwitz consisted of 21 houses and had 112 inhabitants. The village was parish to the church of St. Jakobus in Falkenau . In the 20th century the place grew rapidly.

In 1930 the community had 538 inhabitants, in 1939 there were only 374 after the evacuation of the Czechs. According to the Munich Agreement , the community of Unter Reichenau was incorporated into the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the Falkenau district . After the end of the Second World War, the place came back to Czechoslovakia and the expulsion of the Germans began.

On January 1, 1961, Těšovice was incorporated into Sokolov . During this period the village acquired the character of a suburb of Sokolov. Around 350 garages were built in the corridors of Těšovice. The community has existed again since the beginning of 1992. Jiří Halberštát has been mayor since the village was rebuilt.
