Live and act

Early life

Schwarz was born the son of a rector. In his youth he attended the Friedrich-Werdersche Oberrealschule. From 1917, during the First World War, he worked as an ammunition worker at AEG, where he witnessed some of the ammunition workers' strikes that occurred in the last years of the war. He later blamed "Jewish influence" for these strikes.

In 1918, at the end of the war, Schwarz was sent to a prisoner-of-war camp as part of the Patriotic Aid Service.

Weimar Republic

After the German defeat in the war and the collapse of the monarchy in Germany, Schwarz temporarily joined the Prey sniper corps (Kurmark Regiment), in which, as a "receiver of orders" (reporters), he delivered orders and reports from the troop command to individual troop units or from these to the command . Remaining true to his right-wing sentiment, he participated in the Kapp Putsch in March 1920, which was supported by nationalist circles .

In 1919 Schwarz became an intern at the Oberspree cable works and went to the mechanical engineering school. He then studied for four semesters at the Technical University of Charlottenburg . He then earned his living as an engineer in Berlin-Johannisthal until 1932 , where he was considered a specialist in pneumatic tube systems.

In the summer of 1926, on the occasion of the shooting of SA man Harry Andersen at Moritzplatz, Schwarz met SA leader Kurt Daluege , who induced him to join the NSDAP. According to various statements, he joined the party either on October 1, 1926 or on November 8, 1926 (membership number 46,928).

Schwarz's main field of activity in the Nazi movement was working in the Sturmabteilung (SA), the hall protection and street fighting organization of the NSDAP, for which he worked in the Berlin districts of Kreuzberg and Neukölln from 1926. His official entry date was November 8, 1926. With the SA, Schwarz participated in numerous violent clashes with political opponents from 1926 to 1933, for which he was later awarded the so-called "Blood Order" of the NSDAP. During the SA ban in 1927, Schwarz founded the Turn- und Spielverein Südwest on behalf of Daluege, which served as a catch-all organization for the banned SA.

In 1931, Schwarz was transferred to the staff of SA Standard 3. He then led the SA in Berlin South as SA Oberführer before he was appointed leader of SA Brigade 29 (Berlin North) in January 1934, which he led until 1937.

time of the nationalsocialism

In 1933, Schwarz was a member of the Prussian state parliament for a few months . After the dissolution of this body, he received a seat as a member of the National Socialist Reichstag in November 1933 , in which he represented constituency 19 (Hessen-Nassau) until his death.

Schwarz's death in the spring of 1942 was used by the Berlin NSDAP for a major propaganda act: a mass audience was delegated to the memorial service in front of the Jahndenkmal in Berlin's Hasenheide on May 18, 1942, while the coffin was a cleverly staged ritual in front of a backdrop of blazing pylons was presented. The funeral speech was held by SA Oberführer Arnold Kochan , next to whom numerous other celebrities of the party appeared, including the deputy Gauleiter Artur Görlitzer and Daluege.
