Sculpture for disc-hitting, an old custom on Shrove Sunday and Shrove Monday. Wooden discs made of beech are heated in the fire and then hurled down a ramp into the valley with a stick.

The vineyards of the former farming and wine-growing community are now sought-after residential areas. Over 6,200 citizens live, work and are involved in Kämpfelbach today. More than 60 clubs and groups, of which a remarkably high number of citizens are members, are an expression of Kämpfelbach's strong "we-feeling" and enrich life in the community with a wide range of offers. Ersingen and Bilfingen are still a Catholic enclave in the predominantly Protestant area around Pforzheim. This is mainly the result of the many carnival and Easter customs that have been preserved among the population. For example, in Ersingen the Alemannic custom of Scheibenschlagen has been practiced since ancient times during carnival time. The community was named after the "Kämpfelbach" that flows through both parts of the town. It rises in the neighboring community of Ispringen and ends with a total length of 12 km in the Pfinz (a tributary of the Rhine) in Remchingen-Singen. Its catchment area is about 88 km².

"Scheibenschläger" is a sculpture by Siegfried Burghardt and was made possible by donations from the citizens of Ersingen, clubs, banks and the savings bank. The installation took place in 1998 and is intended to commemorate the old tradition. Part of the sculpture is an adult, life-sized man with a rope with wooden discs slung over his shoulder. In his left hand he has a long hazelnut stick, with his right hand he is holding a boy who is also carrying a stick. Both are running uphill. Scheibenschlagen is an old custom and is held on Shrove Sunday and Shrove Monday, during which the wooden discs are heated up and hurled into the valley using a launch ramp. The glowing discs are intended to drive away the winter, and people also ask for blessings for the fields, meadows and loved ones. Each disc is accompanied by the following saying: "Disc hat, disc hat, uewer Aegger and Rain, who should the disc be for? It goes left, it goes right, it goes my darling, ewe right." In this case, it was dedicated to the father. The disc symbolizes the sun and "hut" stands for "protection". Thus, the "disc beater" is not only a jewel of the village, but also reminds us of the old, long-standing 500-year-old tradition in Ersingen.
