Search and replace input placeholder text with jQuery

Question

How can I search and replace placeholder text from all input boxes?

Example: I wanna change

<input type="text" name="user" id="user" placeholder="User">

to

<input type="text" name="user" id="user" placeholder="Benutzer">

By something like that

$('input').each(function() {
     $(this).attr("placeholder").replace('User', 'Benutzer');
});

Thanks and best regards!

Target elements based on the attribute, then change it

$('input[placeholder="User"]').attr('placeholder', 'Benutzer')
