Life

Herbert Schwarzwälder's younger brother was the local historian Harry Schwarzwälder (1929–2019). He attended high school and graduated from high school in 1938. Subsequently, he was drafted into the Reich Labor Service , then to military service with an air force and with the anti-aircraft artillery. During the Second World War he was first used in homeland security, later in a technical department in the Soviet Union and in the West. Black Forests had to spend several years as a prisoner of war in camps in France, the USA and England. In 1947 he was able to return to Bremen.

From 1948 he studied history, German, English and political science at the Philipps University of Marburg . In 1953 he resigned his First State Examination , and received his doctorate in Marburg for Dr. phil. with the historical work Origin and Beginnings of the City of Bremen . After his clerkship and Second State Exam, he worked from 1955 as assessor and teacher at the Gymnasium am Leibnizplatz in Bremen Neustadt . In 1960 he was appointed professor of history at what was then the Bremen University of Education , which was incorporated into the newly founded University of Bremen in 1971 . Black Forest taught there until 1988 as a full university professor with a focus on regional history , the Nazi era and the Hanseatic League .

Homage by the city of Bremen to the Swedish imperial general Wrangel after the peace treaty in 1666  - contemporary evidence from the Black Forest's works in Bremen in the 17th century .

Schwarzwälder has been researching the history of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen since 1953 . He gave many lectures and published numerous publications on the contemporary and cultural history of Bremen and north-west Germany as well as the Hanseatic League. In 1975 and 1985 his four-volume work on the history of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen was published , which has meanwhile become the standard work on the history of Bremen. After his retirement in 1988, he continued his research and publication work. In 2001 he published the first coherent reference work on things worth knowing and in depth about and in the city-state of Bremen under the title Das Große Bremen-Lexikon , which is considered to be “a treasure trove of the past and present of Bremen and Bremerhaven ” and is now also a standard work.
