Drei Rosen was a Konsumgaststätte in Rötha, Saxony, just south of Leipzig. Located at the town square, the inn went under this floral name already in 1908, albeit with a different sign. The building goes back all the way to around 1410. According to Schwarze Lichter der Stadt, the once popular restaurant has been disused since 1995. The adjacent Theater der Drei Rosen offered film screenings from 1924 until 1991, and was demolished in 2015.

The sign with letters patterned after Eckmann was installed during GDR times. It’s framed by the Konsum logo (designed in 1959 by Karl Thewalt) with a sublogo for the state-controlled restaurants on the left and the titular three roses on the right.

Sign in Camellia on the façade of a closed-down shoe store in Zwickau, Saxony. Camellia is an all-lowercase/unicase face designed by Tony Wenman and issued by Letraset in 1972. It comes with wide and narrow forms for all letters. This sign exclusively uses the former. The original stub ascenders on h were lengthened for better legibility. The Konsum logo with the K made from a smokestack and a sickle reveals that this store dates back to the GDR days. Documented by Monsieur Adrien in September 2019.
