History

The station was opened on 18 October 1898 by the Ústí nad Labem–Teplice railway company under the name Leitmeritz Bahnhof der ATE, or Litoměřice-teplické nádraží. It had a single through line and 7 sidings, as well as several goods sheds and an engine shed. Some sidings later fell out of use as traffic through the station declined. The station underwent a major overhaul in 2015, which included a renovation of the station building, ticket offices, public toilets and restaurant. The track layout has been changed significantly, with the old sidings and platforms being taken up. The station now features one terminating and two through lines, platforms with level boarding, wheelchair ramps, as well as proper lighting and a public information system.
