hello, nice to see some other folks with the Schwarte name.I was told by my grandmother that the surname in Germany links a person to their craft/profession back in the 17th century.the basic breakdown of our name means "pig binding" in old German which would have made our ancestors book binders.kind of cool.i am a nyc Schwarte and my grandmother was born outside of Dusseldorf, moved here in 1969.i would love to find out stuff about our name/heritage if anyone has further info.thanks!
