In terms of area, it is the largest municipality in the Lucerne-Land constituency and with 39.31 km² the seventh largest municipality in the canton of Lucerne. Of the total area, 0.63 km² is settlement area and 19 km² is forest. The town center is 831 m above sea level. M. , the highest point of the community is at 2075 m above sea level. M. , the deepest at 588 m above sea level. M. The Pilate chain dominates the image of the community.

Schwarzenberg borders on Entlebuch , Kriens , Malters and Werthenstein in the canton of Lucerne - as well as Alpnach in the canton of Obwalden and Hergiswil in the canton of Nidwalden.
Sources in the Eigenhal
Lucerne's drinking water is made up of the springs on the north slope of the Pilatus, groundwater from the valley of the Kleine Emme and lake water from Lake Lucerne. The springs from the Eigenhal account for around 12% of the entire water supply in the city of Lucerne and the surrounding area. A spring warden who works especially for the Eigenhal ensures the quality of the water, controls the water distribution and is on site at any time in the event of malfunctions. The water is cleaned and treated in various systems until it is finally fed into the urban pipeline network. With a total length of more than 350 kilometers, this pipeline network forms the basis that all households in the city of Lucerne are supplied with the best drinking water.
population
Between 1798 and 1850 there was a real population explosion in Schwarzenberg (1798–1850: +957.7%). A small settlement became a village. This increase is extraordinary. Since Schwarzenberg was only part of the Malters community until 1845, the allocation of the population to the two parts of the community may have changed. The following large emigration movement from the mountain village of Schwarzenberg down into the valley and into the industrial centers reduced the population considerably from 1850-1930 (1850-1930: −28.7%). After growing between 1930 and 1950 (1930–1950: + 10.0%), the population fell again and hovered around the 1,000 mark until 1980. The three decades after 1980 were characterized by strong growth (1980–2010: +64.0%). Several reasons were decisive for this strong population increase: The (comparatively) cheap land prices, the increasing mobility due to increasing car ownership and the altitude. Since almost all households now have a car, commuters who work in the Lucerne agglomeration are increasingly drawn to the area. And since the place is high up, this means that Schwarzenberg is often above the blanket of fog. The growth continues today, albeit at a slower pace. In 2017 there was a slight decrease in population for the first time.

languages
The population uses a highly Alemannic dialect as their everyday language. In the last census in 2000, 97.65% gave German, 1.21% Serbo-Croatian and 0.95% Albanian as their main language.
Religions - denominations
The entire population used to be members of the Roman Catholic Church. This has changed due to immigration from other regions of Switzerland and abroad and several dozen residents leaving the church. Today (as of 2000) the religious situation is as follows. There are 80.46% Roman Catholic, 10.14% Evangelical Reformed and 1.07% Orthodox Christians. In addition, there are 5.04% of those without religious affiliation. The few Orthodox are almost entirely Serbs and Montenegrins.
Origin - nationality
At the end of 2017 the community had 1,690 inhabitants. Of these, 1,566 were Swiss citizens and 124 (= 7.34%) people of other nationalities. The largest groups of immigrants come from Germany (51 people), Afghanistan (16), Hungary (10) and Italy (9 people).
history
Schwarzenberg has only been an independent municipality since September 12, 1845. Before it belonged as a district to the municipality of Malters . A first petition for separation from Malters in 1837 was rejected by the cantonal parliament. The actual independence took place at the request of the people in the valley. Because the residents of Malters voted Catholic-conservative , the Schwarzenbergs, however, were liberal . The name Swarzenberg appears for the first time in the Zinsrodel of the Rathausen monastery in the early 14th century.
The district of Eigenhal, on the other hand, has a completely different story. First it belonged to the monastery in the courtyard in Lucerne (this in turn was owned by the Murbach monastery in Alsace). Then in 1291 the Habsburgs bought Oeyenthal / Eyenthal. The city of Lucerne acquired the area in 1453 and kept it in their possession until August 13, 1846. Then the Schwarzenberg valley was connected.
