About the company founder (source: wikipedia):
Carl Gottlieb Röder (* 22. June 1812 in Stötteritz; † 29. October 1883 in Gohlis) was a German printing entrepreneur from Leipzig and founder of the CGRöder-Graphische Anstalt and its successor companies. He was buried in the Johannisfriedhof in Leipzig.
Life: CGRöder initially worked as a baker and from 1836 learned the craft of music engraving at the music publisher Breitkopf und Härtel in Leipzig. In October 1846 he founded his own workshop (printing shop) in Leipzig in Holzgasse (today Sternwartenstr.) for engraving and printing music notes, from which the company Röder, CG, graphic Anstalt and CGRöder, KG emerged.
Printing shop: The printing workshop (Graphische Anstalt), founded by the namesake CGRöder in 1846, grew very quickly, so in 1872 the company headquarters were moved to Leipziger Rechtsweg, near the Graphic Quarter, where the company was converted into a GmbH in 1905. In addition to book printing and bookbinding, the company's product portfolio now included music engraving and lithography as well as stone and light printing. The company used collotype printing for the production of postcards for the first time in Germany in 1890. In 1921, Röderhaus AG was founded, which changed its name to CGRöder, AG in 1930 and later replaced CGRöder GmbH. The areas of work have now been expanded to include offset and gravure printing. In 1937 CGRöder, KG was founded, which took over the assets of the AG. During the Second World War, the KG's buildings suffered severe bomb damage and were only partially rebuilt after the war. It was not until 1972 that the CGRöder company was integrated into VEB Offizin Martin Andersen Nexö. Issues 1-223 of Johannes Hegenbarth's Digedags comic booklets were printed here between 1955 and 1975 in the renamed graphic company Röderdruck.
