In Austria he erected two buildings, the churches St. Florian in Vienna and St. Theresia in Linz. Schwarz has always been regarded as a church builder although he had a different point of view on that. "The artist’s world is the world in its unbroken entirety." Schwarz built sacral buildings as well as important secular buildings: for example the two schools he built in Aachen , while he was the director of the Aachen Kunstgewerbeschule (1927 - 1934), in his family houses of the thirties he follows aesthetics faraway from the aesthetics officially declared, the rebuilding of the Paulskirche (church) in Frankfurt, the former Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Cologne, competitions for the theatre in Mannheim and Düsseldorf and his project for the reconstruction of the Reichstag-building in Berlin. A work becomes apparent following expressionistic "isms" as well as the tendencies of a crystalline-cool modernism, the period of the Nazi regime with its restrictions, the time of reconstruction after 1945 when Schwarz was in charge of Cologne’s urban planning and the years of consolidation.
