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.
