This work is devoted to a mathematical analysis of the distributional Schwarzschild geometry. The Schwarzschild solution is extended to include the singularity; the energy momentum tensor becomes a delta-distribution supported at r=0. Using generalized distributional geometry in the sense of Colombeau's (special) construction the nonlinearities are treated in a mathematically rigorous way. Moreover, generalized function techniques are used as a tool to give a unified discussion of various approaches taken in the literature so far; in particular we comment on geometrical issues.
