history
According to information from chroniclers, Slavs settled in the area of today's place Schwarz as early as 650 and 900 AD . In the course of the Christianization of the western Elbe regions, the Archbishop of Magdeburg , Norbert von Xanten , founded the Divine Grace Monastery in 1131 near the settlement . As a result, the already existing place developed into a permanent settlement, which was first mentioned in writing in 1205 under the name "swerce". From 1343 on, Schwarz was directly subordinate to the monastery through a deed of donation from the Archbishop of Magdeburg , until it became a Brandenburg-Prussian domain after 1680 . After that, the town of Schwarz and the domain existed as separate administrative units. In the Thirty Years War (1618–1648) , black was largely destroyed. The reconstruction lasted until 1670.
After Prussia's defeat by Napoleon , Schwarz belonged to the French-ruled Kingdom of Westphalia from 1807 to 1813 and was administered by the canton of Calbe in the Magdeburg district. After the Wars of Liberation , Schwarz returned under Prussian rule. With the Prussian administrative reform of 1815, the place was incorporated into the Calbe district, while the domain of Gottesgnaden received the status of an independent manor district . When the Magdeburg – Leipzig railway was opened in 1890 , the residents of Schwarz received a connection to the Germany-wide railway network via the Calbe train station, three kilometers away. In 1910 black had 425 inhabitants.

Until 1915, Schwarz only had a small house of prayer, which was replaced that year by a hall church with an eastern three-eighth end and a square roof turret. In the course of a change in the Prussian municipal constitutional law, the manor district of Gottesgnaden with its approximately 290 inhabitants was incorporated into the rural community of Schwarz on June 1, 1929. As a result, 677 inhabitants were counted in Schwarz in 1933. The Black Fire Brigade had previously been founded in 1932 after a major fire.
At the beginning of the Second World War , the number of inhabitants had decreased slightly to 641. In April 1945 the place was captured by the US Army and handed over to the Red Army in June . The Soviet occupation zone was converted into the GDR in 1949 , and the administrative reform of the GDR in 1950 renamed the Calbe district to the Schönebeck district . In a further administrative reform in 1952, the states on the territory of the GDR were abolished and replaced by districts . In the process, Schwarz experienced a reclassification from the state of Saxony-Anhalt to the Magdeburg district . At the beginning of the 1950s, an agricultural production cooperative (LPG) was founded in Schwarz , which by 1961 all of the town's farms had joined. According to the 1964 census, black had 714 inhabitants.
After the reunification of Germany , Schwarz retained its agricultural character. In 1994 Schwarz was incorporated into the city of Calbe with God's grace and the Tippelskirchen settlement. After extensive renovation, the village church was re-inaugurated in 2000. On the occasion of Schwarz's 800th anniversary on August 14, 2005, a steel cut by the Calbens artist Otto Plönnies was unveiled. It shows a village silhouette in the background is a farmer plowing black earth. The culture and homeland association Schwarz / Gottesgnaden, founded after the fall of the Wall, disbanded in 2015.
