Iron Wedding: Grubwinklers celebrate 65 years of love in Neutraubling!

On December 30, 2025, Amalie and Johannes Grubwinkler celebrated a very special anniversary: ​​their iron wedding, the 65-year-long connection that they share with each other. This type of wedding, which is synonymous with its duration, is often considered an exceptional event in Germany as it marks one of the highest levels of marriage celebrations. The tradition of honoring long marriages is often accompanied by congratulations, as well as from the city of Neutraubling, which wishes the couple all the best on this remarkable occasion, as stadt-neutraubling.de reports.

Amalie and Johannes met while dancing 67 years ago, which laid the foundation for their future marriage. Their wedding took place in winter, a conscious decision because Johannes Grubwinkler, as a roofer, only had time for a wedding at that time, when the temperatures were cooler. Winter, often associated with stories of romance, was the perfect setting for the couple to begin their life together.

Family life and roots in Neutraubling

After getting to know each other and getting married, the Grubwinklers moved to Neutraubling in 1972, where they have been rooted ever since. Together they have three children and four grandchildren who enrich the family council and carry the Grubwinklers' legacy into the next generation. The family remains in close contact and celebrates such significant milestones with each other.

The iron wedding is one of the many wedding anniversaries that can be celebrated over the course of a married life. According to Wikipedia, the iron wedding is the 6th annual marriage and symbolizes strength and stability in the relationship. This tradition shows how important a long and successful marriage is viewed in society.

The meaning of the celebrations

Celebrating such an anniversary is not only an opportunity to celebrate, but also to reflect on the past years and the ups and downs we have experienced together. The ironic term “iron wedding” fits well with what couples have achieved after 65 years: a resilience and an unshakable partnership.

Looking forward to the future and the love they share, Amalie and Johannes look back on many beautiful memories and know that their relationship will continue to blossom. They not only stand as a couple, but also as an example for everyone who wants to take the long path to marriage. The city of Neutraubling and its citizens stand firmly by their side to celebrate this remarkable milestone.
