In 1910, a street was named after Ehrlich in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen. In [[Nazi Germany]], Ehrlich's achievements were ignored while [[Emil Adolf von Behring]] was stylised as the ideal [[Aryan]] scientist, and the street named after Ehrlich was given another name. Shortly after the end of the war the name Paul-Ehrlich-Strasse was reinstated, and numerous German cities have since had streets named after Ehrlich.

West Germany issued a postage stamp in 1954 on the 100th anniversary of the births of Ehrlich (14 March 1854) and Emil von Behring (15 March 1854).

The 200 [[Deutsche Mark]] bank note, issued until 2001, featured Ehrlich.

The German Paul Ehrlich Institute, the successor to the Steglitz Institute for Serum Research and Serum Testing and the Frankfurt Royal Institute for Experimental Therapy, was named in 1947 after Ehrlich, its first director.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110221034309/http://www.pei.de/EN/institute-en/geschichte-en/geschichte-node-en.html Historical Overview]. Paul Ehrlich Institute</ref>

Ehrlich's name is also borne by many schools and pharmacies, by the Paul-Ehrlich-Gesellschaft für Chemotherapie e. V. (PEG) in Frankfurt am Main, and the Paul-Ehrlich-Klinik in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe. The [[Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize]] is the most distinguished German award for biomedical research. A European network of PhD studies in Medicinal Chemistry has been named after him (Paul Ehrlich MedChem Euro PhD Network).<ref>[http://www.pehrlichmedchem.eu/ Introduction]. pehrlichmedchem.eu</ref>

The [[Anti-Defamation League]] awards a Paul Ehrlich–Günther K. Schwerin Human Rights Prize.

A [[Ehrlich (crater)|crater]] of the moon was named after Ehrlich in 1970.

Ehrlich's life and work was featured in the 1940 U.S. film ''[[Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet]]'' with [[Edward G. Robinson]] in the title role. It focused on [[arsphenamine|Salvarsan]] (arsphenamine, "[[arsphenamine|compound 606]]"), his cure for syphilis. Since the Nazi government was opposed to this tribute to a Jewish scientist, attempts were made to keep the film a secret in Germany. The film was nominated for an [[Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay]].<ref name="Oscars13">{{cite news|url=http://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1941|title=The 13th Academy Awards (1941) Nominees and Winners|access-date=August 27, 2013|publisher=Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS)}}</ref>
