Summary/Abstract: On Tuesday, 19 July 2016, starting at 7:00 p.m., the jubilee exhibition “Timișoara 1716. The Beginnings of a European City” (Temeswar 1716. Die Anfänge einer europäischen Stadt / Temesvár 1716. Egy európai város kezdetei / Темишвар 2016. Почеци једнога европског града / Timișoara 1716. The Beginnings of a European City) was opened at the Theresia Bastion, the current headquarters of the National Museum of Banat. The exhibition, historical, documentary, and artistic in character, marks what is likely the most important event in the modern history of Timișoara, the Banat, and even the city’s confessional life: liberation from Ottoman occupation. For the Diocese of Timișoara (formerly of Cenad), as well as for the other Christian denominations, this moment signified a reorganization of spiritual life under the new conditions of belonging to a Christian state—the Habsburg Empire—and of emerging from Ottoman‑Islamic oppression.
