In 1848 he completed his habilitation as a private lecturer in Roman law and canon law at the University of Göttingen. Until 1851 he held lectures on Roman law in Göttingen and then went to the University of Prague as an associate professor of Roman law . In 1853 he changed to the chair of Roman law and civil procedural law at the University of Rostock as the successor to Burkard Wilhelm Leist .

In 1873 he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Wendish Crown by Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II . The professorship was taken over by Gustav Ferdinand Kretschmar (1830-1897) when Schwanert followed the call of full professor of Roman law at the University of Breslau in 1874 .
