According to legend in 762 , the sources of Teplitz are said to have been discovered. The town was first mentioned in the 12th century and the baths in the 16th century. It was Queen Judith who founded a Benedictine monastery “ad aquas calidas” (near the warm waters) on the site of today's castle between 1158–1164 and furnished it richly. The Slavic root word for "warmth" can also be found in the place name, both in the Czech and in the German form derived from it. The monastery was destroyed in the Hussite Wars .

The rulership of Teplitz has been exercised by the Counts Kinsky since the 13th century . In 1467 Teplitz received city ​​rights . Around 1630 the town and castle belonged to Wilhelm Kinsky von Wchinitz and Tettau , who was murdered in Eger together with Wallenstein in 1634 . Subsequently, Emperor Ferdinand II confiscated Kinsky's possessions and lent Teplitz in the same year to Field Marshal Count Johann von Aldringen , who fell near Landshut in 1634. The property came to his sister Anna, who was married to Hieronymus Freiherr von Clary. After disputes over inheritance, the new owners were finally confirmed in 1666, with Clary-Aldringen as the family name . Since then, the Clary-Aldringen family has been associated with Teplitz until 1945.

In 1793 about half of the buildings were destroyed in a large city fire. The reconstruction took place in the classical style, which earned the city the nickname Little Paris .

In the Napoleonic Wars in 1813, Teplitz was the headquarters of the three allied monarchs of Austria , Prussia and Russia , who concluded their alliance against Napoleon in Teplitz Castle .

In Teplitz, Austria and Prussia agreed on the Teplitz puncture on August 1, 1819 .

In September 1835 the monarchs of Austria, Russia and Prussia, in autumn 1849 the emperor of Austria, the kings of Prussia and Saxony and on July 25, 1860 the emperor of Austria and the prince regent of Prussia had meetings in Teplitz. In 1862 the thermal baths' 1,100-year jubilee was celebrated and a memorial was unveiled.

A wall breakthrough in the Döllinger coal works near Dux on February 10, 1879, where the thermal water flowed from then on, called the existence of Teplitz as a spa and bathing resort into question. It didn't come to that; Thanks to building measures that were quickly initiated, it was possible to bring the thermal water back to the surface from its old outlets on March 3, 1879.

Around 1888, the two municipal bath springs Urquelle and Frauenbadquelle, 48 ° C, the stone bath spring 34.6 ° C, the Stephans spring 36.75 ° C, the sand bath spring 32.5 ° C and the meadow spring 32.7 ° C existed as healing springs in Teplitz . In addition, there was the Schlangenbad spring with 39 ° C and the Neubad spring with an outlet temperature of 44.75 ° C in Schönau. These sources usually led alkaline - a saline water, with only small solid particles, preferably carbonate of soda , mixed and fed ten bathhouses. The thermal water should primarily help against chronic joint diseases ( rheumatism , gout), paralysis, scrofulous swellings and ulcers, neuralgia, incipient spinal cord disorders, but also with secondary diseases from gunshot wounds and cut wounds and after bone fractures ("Warrior's Bath"). The original source also served as a drinking cure. The number of visitors to Teplitz-Schönau in 1887 amounted to 7,351 spa guests and 19,224 passers-by. The spa garden in the center of the city was used as a meeting place and entertainment venue for the bathing society, in which the new city theater, the drinking halls, the Kursalon and the palatial imperial bath are located; the garden and park of the Princely-Clary Castle; the 264 m high Königshöhe with the shooting house, the Schlackenburg and the monument to King Friedrich Wilhelm III. ; the Belvedere ; the Seumepark with the tomb of Johann Gottfried Seumes ; the Kaiserpark; the Payer and Humboldt plants; the 392 m high Schlossberg with castle ruins; the Turner and Propstauer Park.

The first uniform ranks in all fire departments in the Austrian part of Austria-Hungary have existed since 1892. They were decided here on the 5th fire department day. It was one of the first resolutions of the Standing Austrian Fire Brigade Committee , the predecessor of the Federal Fire Brigade Association.

In 1895 Teplitz was united with the seaside resort of Schönau (Šanov), which was elevated to a town in 1884. The city was given the double name Teplitz-Schönau.

From 1918 the Austrian town of Teplitz-Schönau belonged to Czechoslovakia until the end of the First World War . On December 1, 1930, it had 23,100 German and 5,300 Czech residents. Teplitz was the seat of numerous German-Bohemian and Sudeten German organizations, including the secretariat of the German Social Democratic Workers' Party (DSAP).

With the Munich Agreement , Teplitz-Schönau was added to the German Reich in 1938. On May 17, 1939, the city had 26,281 inhabitants. The largest synagogue in Bohemia stood in Teplice until the Second World War , and it was burned down on March 14, 1939.

Teplice was from 1938 to 1945 the district administration office of the district Teplice in the administrative district of Usti nad Labem in the Reich Sudetenland . On October 1, 1942, the town of Turn and the community of Settenz were incorporated into Teplitz-Schönau. The state school for ceramics and related trades in Teplitz-Schönau existed until 1945.

The majority of the German Bohemian population was expropriated and expelled in 1945 , as was the noble Clary-Aldringen family. In the following period, many migrants from the interior of the country, from Slovakia and "repatriants", members of Czech and Slovak minorities abroad, as well as many Roma moved here. In May 1947, 22,783 inhabitants were registered. In 1948 the town of Teplice-Šanov merged with the towns of Novosedlice , Proboštov , Řetenice, Trnovany, Sobědruhy and Malý Újezd to form the town of Teplice . 1954 the plans for "Velké Teplice" (Groß-Teplitz) were given up and some of the places got their independence back.

The cityscape of old Teplitz was redesigned during the socialist period. Only the Schloss-Platz (with the Holy Cross Church, Dean's Church, Trinity Column, castle and row of houses opposite) has been preserved to some extent. On the former market square (now Platz der Freiheit), many Wilhelminian-style houses were demolished to make room for a shopping center and the Telekom building. Since the 1990s there has been a large empty building in the city center that was part of the former Hotel Thermia.
