He left his job as an accountant at the Munich City Hall to become the full-time treasurer of the Nazi Party on March 21 1925. He rebuilds the financial and administrative functions of the party. It was Schwarz who raised the money for the publication of [[Hitler]]'s book, ''Mein Kampf''. In April–May 1930 Schwarz negotiated the purchase of the party headquarters, the Brown House at 45 Brienner Straße in Munich.

Schwarz was elected to the Reichstag in 1933, representing the Franconia electoral district and continued thus to the end of [[World War II]]. He was also named a Reichsleiter (Reich Leader), which was the second highest political rank of the Nazi Party.
