The Sahlmannvilla (Bahnhofplatz 4) on the corner of Bahnhofplatz and today's Gustav-Schickedanz-Straße in Fürth was a villa built in 1867 by the Sahlmann family, a Jewish hop merchant family.

Dresdner bank branch. A historical balcony element is reminiscent of the Sahlmannvilla.

The Sahlmanns were a bourgeois family living across Nuremberg and Fürth, who had become prosperous primarily as hop traders. On 25/26 May 1906 Anton Sahlmann received the Bavarian Prince Ludwig here during his visit to Fürth. The villa was confiscated by the night of the Reichspogrom at the latest and the building was used to detain Jewish citizens. During the Second World War the villa served as a command post for the Wehrmacht.

The villa was demolished in 1984 in protest in favor of a new building for Dresdner Bank (now Commerzbank).
