Schwabe is a small lunar impact crater that is located in the northern part of the Moon.

It lies to the southeast of the much larger crater Arnold, and east-northeast of Democritus.

The remaining rim of Schwabe crater is worn and uneven, with the most intact section along the east-southeast side.

The interior floor has been resurfaced by basaltic lava, possibly entering the crater through the aforementioned gaps in the rim.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Schwabe.
