Alwin Schwabe was the youngest son of Karl Schwabe, a porcelain painter, and Gustava nee. Hesse. The Basel family Schwabe was founded by him and his brothers Benno and Hugo (1847–1899) Schwabe from Hanau (Hesse) and Frankfurt am Main , all of whom were naturalized in Basel between 1887 and 1891.

In 1868 Benno Schwabe took over the Schweighauser'sche publishing bookstore and printing house in Basel, which he continued under his own name (today Schwabe AG ). Hugo Schwabe acquired the free-spirited daily newspaper Schweizerischer Volksfreund (from 1888 National-Zeitung ) in 1877 and from 1892 also worked as director of the Basel City Theater. Alwin Schwabe worked for the National-Zeitung.

Some of the descendants were also active in publishing, according to Hansrudolf Schwabe, who founded Pharos Verlag in 1958. Benno Schwabe's son Max (1874-1943) was a lawyer and in 1931 was elected President of the High Court of the Canton of Basel-Landschaft . His younger brother Julius Schwabe emerged as a symbol researcher.
