The building that today forms the main pillar of the Teplice Grammar School campus stands on the site of the former Mořic Courtyard, which served as the residence of the forest administration and the office of Duke Clary-Aldringen. The grammar school was designed by the German architect Wenzel Bürger, and materials from the original courtyard were used for its construction. The historic building is now one of the key structures in the city’s heritage zone and represents a fine example of historicist architecture with elements of Saxon Neo-Renaissance.
The school was officially opened in 1904 as a German Realschule, where German students made up approximately 95% of the student body, and the Czech language was taught only as an optional subject. After the Second World War, through significant effort, the historic building was made accessible to the Czech grammar school.
Following the Velvet Revolution, the grammar school was connected to the building of the former elementary school and is now linked by a glass bridge, allowing students to cross the busy street safely. The campus offers visitors not only study facilities but also the Biopark and the Beuron Chapel, which holds great artistic and historical significance.
Today, Teplice Grammar School remains one of the city’s key educational institutions and at the same time an important architectural and cultural symbol of Teplice.
