      It is the middle of the week if you consider the week to me the workweek, from Montag to Freitag.

      It is if you start the week on Sunday, which is the first day of the week by christian standards.

        not realy: god rested on the last day of the week of the creation myth, so the christian week starts on monday and ends on sunday i guess, the one ending on saturday aka schabbat seems more like being influenced by jewisch tradition
