Life

Franz Sales Schwarz was the son of the Lasberg merchant and mayor from 1861 to 1864 Josef Schwarz (1807–1881). His brothers were the priest and editor Josef Schwarz (1841-1909) and the politician and doctor Caspar Schwarz (1845-1911).

After his ordination in 1872, Schwarz worked as a chaplain at the parish church in Gmunden . From 1885 he worked as a parish provisional before he worked as a religion teacher at the Staats-Oberrealschule in Steyr in Upper Austria the following year . Between 1889 and 1910 Schwarz taught as a religion professor at the Staats-Oberrealschule in Linz. During this period he was appointed ecclesiastical councilor in 1900 and consistorial councilor in 1911.

Hitler despised the religious instruction from Sales Schwarz and often ridiculed him. According to later statements by Hitler and his classmates, they found Schwarz as teachers “simple-minded and instinctless”. They blamed him for the fact that the students " perceived the Catholic Church and religion as foreign and in some cases gave up completely". The role of the religion teacher Schwarz was also mentioned by numerous Hitler biographers such as Joachim Fest (Hitler: a biography) , Werner Maser (Adolf Hitler: legend, myth, reality) or Ernst Deuerlein (Hitler. A political biography) .
