Coat of arms declaration: “The coat of arms contains the colors blue, green and silver. Blue for the sky, silver for the battlements of a castle as well as the Johanniterkreuz and green for the treetops. The castle battlements point to the Kesterburg (today Christenberg ) in the castle forest. A bright blue sky arches over the castle battlements. The pointed tops of fir and spruce trees are depicted under the battlements. They are kept in lush green. Another part of the castle forest coat of arms is the Johanniterkreuz. This four-pointed cross with arrowheads pointing inwards indicates the history of the Wiesenfeld district. In 1238 the village was created as a Johanniter - Kommende . "

Local dialects
Local dialects have developed over the centuries in the towns of Birkenbringhausen, Bottendorf, Ernsthausen and Wiesenfeld . In contrast, the district of Burgwald was not settled until after the Second World War, so that no dialect of its own was created here. The inhabitants themselves call their language Platt (birch Bringhäuser Platt, Platt Bottendorfer etc.), not to be confused with the spoken in Northern Germany Low German . Without there being any reliable figures, the number of residents who speak the respective dialect has probably fallen massively in recent years.
Ortsnecknames
The Birkenbringhäuser are called "Ratzverbrenner", the Bottendorfer "Waschtemailer" and the Ernsthäuser "Brüchhinkel". Background information on these local names can be found on the pages of the respective districts.
Sports
For years, are Prellballer TSV Ernsthausen, the artistic cycling of RSV Ernsthausen and the shooters of SV Ernsthausen nationally successful.
societies
Around 50 clubs and associations are active in the community, some of which are community-wide.
NABU Burgwald
The Burgwald environmental group was founded on September 10, 1991. In the following year she joined the Naturschutzbund Deutschland (NABU, formerly the German Federation for Bird Protection). The association currently has around 60 members. The main focus of the work is biotope and landscape maintenance and the associated protection and restoration of the ancestral flora and fauna in the north-western region of the castle forest. Today the work in the biotope network system "Upper Wetschafttal " between Ernsthausen and Roda is very broad .
