The Catholic Parish Church

According to the documents of the church archives, Schwarzbach belonged to the large parish of Margretenhaun as a daughter parish in 1093 . The area and the village were cared for by monks from the Petersberg Monastery . The church organization was mainly carried out by the Fulda monastery . A chapel is mentioned around 1490. Today's Roman Catholic parish church was built between 1912 and 1914 based on designs by Georg Kegel and is dedicated to St. Mary of Mount Carmel . Because of its size, which is unusual for the small town, it is also called the "Rhön Cathedral". Since the small community could not afford such a large church, the people of Schwarzbach had to volunteer and support the construction, for example by transporting the sandstone blocks free of charge. When the church was built, the tower of the much older predecessor church was retained in its original form and integrated into the new building.

The Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen cast bells twice for the church of St. Maria vom Berg Carmel . In 1927 Otto delivered four bronze bells, three of which were confiscated and melted down during World War II. Only one bell survived the war. In 1952, three new bells were cast for Schwarzbach with the strike tone series f sharp - a - b.
