We show that D=4 Schwarzschild black holes can arise from a doublet of Euclidean D3-antiD3 pairs embedded in D=10 Lorentzian spacetime. By starting from a D=10 type IIB supergravity description for the D3-antiD3 pairs and wrapping one of them over an external 2-sphere, we derive all vacuum solutions compatible with the symmetry of the problem. Analysing under what condition a Euclidean brane configuration embedded in a Lorentzian spacetime can lead to a time-independent spacetime, enables us to single out the embedded D=4 Schwarzschild spacetime as the unique solution generated by the D3-antiD3 pairs. In particular we argue on account of energy-conservation that time-independent solutions arising from isolated Euclidean branes require those branes to sit at event horizons. In combination with previous work this self-dual brane-antibrane origin of the black hole allows for a microscopic counting of its Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. Finally we indicate how Hawking-radiation can be understood from the associated tachyon condensation process.
