Life

Schwarz attended St. Anna High School in Augsburg and then the universities in Erlangen and Tübingen , where he studied law. After completing his studies, he worked as a trainee lawyer and assessor and from April 1930 as a lawyer again in Memmingen .

In 1919 Schwarz had joined the German National Guard and Defense Association . From 1921 to 1923 he was a member of the Bundes Oberland , the successor to the Freikorps of the same name . According to his own statements, he claims to have participated in "active resistance in the occupied area" in 1923. He joined the SA in 1925; on May 28, 1926 he became a member of the Memmingen NSDAP local group ( membership number 37.394). Between 1927 and 1932, Schwarz was the NSDAP's district leader for Memmingen. In 1928, Schwarz joined the Association of National Socialist German Lawyers (BNSDJ, membership number 37). From 1929 to 1935, Schwarz was a city councilor in Memmingen; for the first four years he led the NSDAP parliamentary group there.

In September 1930 he received a mandate in the Reichstag , which he held until 1945 in the then functionless parliament after the transfer of power to the National Socialists . From June 1934 he was Gauamtsleiter and Gauinspectorur in Gau Schwaben and a member of the Academy for German Law . In 1935 he was councilor in Memmingen and in 1936 NSDAP district leader for the city and district of Memmingen. At the end of the war he fled Memmingen and was captured by American troops in Markt Rettenbach on April 26, 1945 and then interned.

In July 1948, the Memmingen Regional Court sentenced Schwarz to two years in prison for destroying the Memmingen synagogue. In February 1949 he was classified as the main culprit in the denazification and sentenced to three years in a labor camp by the Memmingen Chamber , taking into account his political imprisonment . In July 1950, the appeals chamber classified him as an offender. Schwarz was banned from holding public office, including the notary and the legal profession, which was lifted in August 1958. Then he worked again as a lawyer in Memmingen. In 1960, Schwarz is said to have helped to come to terms with the fate of the Jews in Memmingen during the Nazi era.
