Abstract: Requiring that the matter fields are subject to the dominant energy condition, we establish the lower bound $(4pi{)}^{-1}kappacalA$ for the total mass $M$ of a static, spherically symmetric black hole spacetime. ($calA$ and $kappa$ denote the area and the surface gravity of the horizon, respectively.) Together with the fact that the Komar integral provides a simple relation between $M-(4pi{)}^{-1}kappaA$ and the strong energy condition, this enables us to prove that the Schwarzschild metric represents the only static, spherically symmetric black hole solution of a selfgravitating matter model satisfying the dominant, but violating the strong energy condition for the timelike Killing field $K$ at every point, that is, $R(K,K)leq0$. Applying this result to scalar fields, we recover the fact that the only black hole configuration of the spherically symmetric Einstein-Higgs model with arbitrary non-negative potential is the Schwarzschild spacetime with constant Higgs field. In the presence of electromagnetic fields, we also derive a stronger bound for the total mass, involving the electromagnetic potentials and charges. Again, this estimate provides a simple tool to prove a ``no-hair theorem for matter fields violating the strong energy condition.
