Act

Schwarz worked scientifically in the fields of theology, philosophy, history and coinage. He liked to work on the history of Hungary. His master’s thesis, published in 1739, met with such interest in his home country, especially through the bishop in Raab, that it was published in several editions. Schwarz was a sympathizer of the Enlightenment, who wrote numerous of his own writings, especially theological content.

family

Schwarz was married twice. His first marriage was in Osnabrück in 1743 with Regina Maria Lübke († April 1, 1745). The son Johann Ludolph Schwarz († 1763 in Osnabrück) comes from this marriage. His second marriage was in 1750 with Gerhardine Brouning, daughter of secret secretary Carl Wilhelm Brouning. This marriage remained childless.
