Anyway, here is a translation of Schwarzschild's paper "On the Gravitational Field of a Point-Mass, According to Einstein’s Theory." zelmanov.ptep-online.com/papers/zj-20...

The title and abstract read:

On the Gravitational Field of a Point-Mass,
According to Einstein’s Theory
Karl Schwarzschild
Submitted on January 13, 1916
¨
Abstract: This is a translation of the paper
Uber das Gravitations-
feld eines Massenpunktes nach der Einsteinschen Theorie by Karl
Schwarzschild, where he obtained the metric of a space due to the
gravitational field of a point-mass. The paper was originally published
in 1916, in Sitzungsberichte der K¨oniglich Preussischen Akademie der
Wissenschaften, S. 189–196. Translated from the German in 2008 by

Karl Schwarzschild passed away from complications associated with an illness he acquired on the Russian front, less than a year after sending his letter to Einstein.
