Gustav Abraham Schickedanz (1 January 1895 – 27 March 1977[1]) was a German entrepreneur and Nazi party member who profited from the Aryanization of Jewish companies.

In 1935 Schickedanz, a Nazi party member, was involved in the Aryanization (or forced transfer) of the property of the Jewish businessmen Oskar and Emil Rosenfelder, acquiring for a low price the rights to the Tempo brand and the paper company Vereinigte Papierwerke in Nuremberg.

On 8 June 1942 Gustav Schickedanz married 17 years younger Grete Lachner in St.-Pauls-Kirche in Fürth.

After the war Schickedanz was initially prohibited from carrying on his business by the American occupation authorities.

Gustav Schickedanz and his wife Grete initiated a number of charitable works for which they received much public recognition.
