[edit] Career
He started his career with Hannover 96. From 1998 to 2000 he played for Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga, playing in 48 games, but scoring no goals. The midfielder turned then to Werder Bremen. In 152 games in the Bundesliga he scored 11 goals. He left after spending three and a half year at Schalke and joined Beşiktaş J.K. on 2 February 2009. The player signed a contract which will last until 2012.[2] In his first season in Beşiktaş J.K. he scored two goals. In the end of the season he was elected "The Best Player Of The Team" by the supporters. On 16 September 2010, Ernst headed in a last-minute goal against Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia to help his team to a winning start in the group stages of the UEFA Europa League.

In 2002 he played his first international game, representing Germany against Kuwait. Ernst was a member of the German squad at Euro 2004. As of the end of 2007, he has won 24 caps and scored one goal for his country.
