Important events in expressionist architecture were the Werkbund Exhibition (1914) in Cologne, the completion and theatrical running of the Grosses Schauspielhaus, Berlinin 1919, the Glass Chain letters and the activities of the Amsterdam School.Beside a relatively few buildings, expressionist architecture also made a great contribution to architectural theory.
