- We consider the autoparallel motion of test bodies in static, spherically symmetric spacetimes with torsion. We prove complete integrability of such motion for a wide range of off-shell geometries via four commuting autoparallel Killing vectors. Since these vectors reduce to translation generators in a certain limit, we refer to these geometries as `translation invariant.' Invoking the field equations of quadratic Poincaré gauge gravity we re-derive an exact Schwarzschild black hole solution endowed with a non-trivial torsion field scaling as $GM/r^2$, where $M$ denotes the ADM mass of the black hole. Studying the qualitative orbital dynamics via effective potentials we find notable discrepancies between autoparallels (straightest possible paths) and geodesics (shortest possible paths).
