Some of the architects represented in the Arbeitsrat united in the Glass Chain, or joined the correspondence group, Der Ring.
Individual members informed the most important German academy of art of the time, the Staatliche Akademie für Kunst und Kunstgewerbe Breslau, as well as the Bauhaus.
Flyer dated March 1st 1919[1]Their demands were: the acknowledgment of all tasks of building as public and not private tasks, the abolition of all official privileges, the establishment of community centers as places to exchange art and ideas, the dissolution of the Academy of the arts and the Prussian national art commission, the release of architectural, plastics, painting and handicraft commissions from national patronage, the promotion of museums as education places, the removal of artistically worthless monuments and the formation of a state body to oversee and promote education in the arts.
The Arbeitsrat reacted to the unpalatable situation concerning orders for young architects, who were lost in the First world war.
Its exhibitions were open for non-architects and also for non-members of the group to take part, with designs, models, sketches and sculptures.
