Because it takes a longer time to rotate than earth does
The main purpose of Daylight Savings time is to have more daylight in the evening. An hour of daylight is moved from morning to evening. Also, Daylight Savings time can save on energy. The U.S. Department of Transportation in 1975 showed that 1% of electricity was saved each day.
The plan gives us a later sunset so the daylight lasts longer. Doing so saved daylight hours so that during World War I, when it was implemented, war time production could continue later in the day, thus saving energy. In 1966, Daylight Savings Time became more uniform. It allows us to use less energy in the early evening by taking advantage of the longer daylight hours.
It was a way to conserve electricity, extending daylight deeper into the evening.

It is much more north than the usa. The tilt of the earth in the summer makes daylight longer in summer.

Where I live (just under 56o N), about 2 min in the evening

Daylight Saving Time starts in the spring, moving the sun rise later in morning with respect to Standard Time and providing more daylight in the afternoon and evening.
Fall is when you loose an hour of daylight in the evening, gain an hour of daylight in the morning, and gain an hour of sleep time.
the daylight time is longer in the summer and shorter in the winter
One is for daylight conditions and one is for evening/nighttime conditions.
The Winter Solstice has 8 hours of daylight.
