Morgenstund hat Gold im Mund.

The early bird catches the worm.

意思

Being productive early in the morning leads to advantages.

🌍

文化背景

In Germany, being a 'Frühaufsteher' (early riser) is a point of pride. Many bakeries open as early as 5:30 AM, and it is socially acceptable to call colleagues at 8:00 AM. Swiss culture also highly values the early start, especially in the farming and watchmaking traditions where precision and time management are key. While similar to Germany, Austrians might use the phrase with a bit more 'Gemütlichkeit' (coziness), often over a long breakfast. In the global context, this German proverb is often cited as evidence of the 'German efficiency' stereotype.
