He then became Gau managing director of the Gau leadership Hessen-Nassau-Süd and in 1932 Gau inspector. From 1932 to September 30, 1937 he was district leader of the NSDAP for Worms. After the transfer of power to the National Socialists, he was provisional alderman of Worms from April 24 to August 16, 1933, before taking over the office of Mayor of Worms from Wilhelm Rahn on August 16, 1933 . In the summer of 1933 Schwebel supported the plans of the head of the tourist office to revive the Sedan Festival, which was celebrated annually before the war . Holding this traditional festival was not possible in Worms due to the occupation by French troops that lasted until 1930 . On September 2, 1933, the first Backfischfest was celebrated in Worms as the successor to the Sedanfest.

On February 1, 1934, Schwebel gave up the office of Lord Mayor to the councilor Gustav Adolf Körbel and became district administrator or district administrator in the Worms district.

He moved to Frankfurt am Main as NSDAP district leader , a position he held until June 30, 1943. After Schwebel had been unsuccessfully proposed for the Reichstag election in April 1938, he was able to move up to the politically insignificant Reichstag on November 10, 1939 for the deceased deputy Johannes Lommel . In 1939 and 1940 he was in military service on the Western Front.

Shortly before the end of the war, Schwebel fled Wiesbaden on March 25, 1945, three days before the American troops moved in, at the same time as the Hessian Gauleiter Jakob Sprenger from Frankfurt.
