Villa Eschebach, Neobaroque villa at Albertplatz, Dresden, Germany.

Villa Eschebach is a two-story residential building at the corner of Albertplatz and Georgenstrasse featuring decorative wall paintings and multiple terraces. The structure displays characteristic neobaroque architectural elements from its early 20th century construction.

Hermann Thüme built the villa between 1900 and 1903 for Carl Eschebach, owner of the Eschebach-Werke and a Dresden art patron. In 1924 the Sächsisch-Böhmische Dampfschiffahrtsgesellschaft acquired it. The February 1945 air raids burned it out and destroyed Donadini's wall paintings; the shipping company patched up the building and palm garden. Volksbank bought it in 1993 and restored it from 1995 to 1997.

The villa's name recalls Carl Eschebach, owner of the Eschebach-Werke, who commissioned it. Its rooms were built partly as art exhibition halls, and the premieres of the neighbouring Albert-Theater were celebrated here. Since the 1995–1997 renovation by the Volksbank, exhibitions have again been held in the building.

The building today serves as headquarters for Volksbank Dresden-Bautzen while functioning as an exhibition space for local artists. Visitors should note that access times are tied to bank business hours and checking ahead is recommended.

The villa's winter garden, with its terraces of exotic plants on the south side, drew silent-film crews in the early 20th century. The same glass-and-plant setting hosted premiere parties for the neighbouring Albert-Theater.
