Abstract
The statistical entropy of a Schwarzschild black string in five dimensions is obtained by counting the black
string states which form a representation of the near-horizon conformal symmetry with a central charge. The
statistical entropy of the string agrees with its Bekenstein-Hawking entropy as well as that of the Schwarzschild
black hole in four dimensions. The string length which gives the Virasoro algebra also reproduces the
precise value of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and lies inside the stability bound of the string.
