Schwarzschild is a large lunar impact crater, approximately 211 kilometers (131 mi) in diameter.

The nearest craters of note are Seares to the northeast, and Gamow to the southeast.

The rim is roughly circular in form, with an outward bulge along the southwestern side.

The inner floor of Schwarzschild is relatively level by comparison with the rugged terrain outside, and is particularly flat in the north-northeastern half.

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