Former national team coach Julian Nagelsmann and Lena Wurzenberger celebrated a second wedding ceremony in mid-August 2026 at Villa Arcadio overlooking Italy’s Lake Garda, following their initial civil marriage in Austria earlier that January.
Months after stepping down as the head coach of the German national team following the World Cup in North America, Julian Nagelsmann quietly gathered family and close friends for a Mediterranean celebration in the hills above Salò. While public attention remained focused on football personnel decisions and his departure from the DFB, the private ceremony marked the second time the couple exchanged vows within a span of eight months.
Villa Arcadio Celebration Above Lake Garda
The gathering took place in mid-August 2026 at Villa Arcadio, a 14th-century former monastery converted into an 18-room boutique hotel situated among olive trees and cypresses. According to BILD, the couple completely reserved the property for two days to host roughly 40 guests, including Nagelsmann’s mother, Burgi.
Unlike their winter gathering, the 39-year-old groom and his 33-year-old partner wore white for the Italian ceremony, with Nagelsmann in a white summer suit and the bride in a white dress, stepping away from the traditional regional attire they wore earlier in the year. The location itself was a familiar retreat; Nagelsmann has long favored the Lake Garda region for private holidays and previously purchased a villa in 2023.
Winter Beginnings in Leogang and Professional Shifts
The couple’s first official exchange of vows occurred on January 24, 2026, at the Forsthofgut nature hotel in Leogang, Austria. That initial winter gathering was kept small, with approximately 30 attendees celebrating in traditional regional costume before dining at the hotel’s Japanese restaurant Mizumi, which provided a screened-off area for the party.
The timing of the two events reflected the demands of elite football management. Organizing a larger gathering proved difficult while Nagelsmann led the national team through its competitive schedule, leaving the summer break following the tournament as the first clear window for the celebration in northern Italy. Immediately prior to the Italian festivities, according to Rosenheim24, the pair spent days at the Quellenhof Luxury Resort in the Passeiertal of South Tyrol, where hotel director Heinrich Dorfer posted a congratulatory photo with the couple on Instagram.
Shared History in Munich and Public Appearances
Nagelsmann and Wurzenberger first connected in 2022 while he managed FC Bayern Munich at Säbener Straße and she worked as a journalist. In the years since, both have transitioned away from the specific roles they held when they met.
Despite keeping the August wedding out of immediate public view, the couple appeared relaxed in public just weeks later, joining the annual Oktoberfest celebrations inside the Käfer tent in Munich. Neither Nagelsmann nor his wife commented publicly on the details of the Lake Garda gathering when contacted by media outlets.
