In 2016, the motto of the series of events was Wrocław – European Capital of Culture 2016: Our twin city.

The opening event was accompanied by a musical performance by the Wrocław music group »Me Myself And I«. As part of the series of events, the special exhibition »In search of a new identity. Wrocław in the post-war period« was opened at the Kraszewski Museum together with the Wrocław City Museum. The concert by the German-Polish group »The Polish Connection« at the Tonne jazz club was a great success. The film presentations »Marcel Reich-Ranicki: My Life«, »For Being Alive - Punk from Wroclaw« and »Borderland a Journey« were also very well received by the audience. Lectures on the revitalisation of Wrocław and the history of the Wrocław avant-garde, an art history tour through the city of a hundred bridges, the excellent discussion with Wrocław city writer Marko Martin, the author talk and book presentation »Berlin-Breslau.
