Family chaos surrounding Richard Lugner's inheritance: Will reconciliation become a reality?

The time of Advent not only brings contemplative moments, but also the opportunity for reconciliation. This opportunity could be particularly important for the Lugner family. After the death of the head of the family Richard Lugner on August 12, 2024, there is unrest in the clan. The war between his last wife, Simone Lugner, and the “original family” has escalated, especially since Simone's abrupt dismissal in Lugner City by Jacqueline Lugner and Gerald Friede, who now run the business. How Today reported that Simone expressed her wish for a reconciliation with Christina “Mausi” and the rest of the family, but she currently sees no reason to do so. She emphasizes: “I have a great family who are there for me and friends who are also supportive.”

Jacqueline Lugner, daughter of the late Richard Lugner, took over the management of Lugner City GmbH after her father's death and is now trying to carry on her father's legacy. Since her return to the family business, she has been responsible for the management strategy together with Gerald Friede. Jacqueline has already been groomed as her father's successor and is a well-known figure who is present in the media through reality TV formats such as "The Lugners". Wikipedia holds on. However, at the time of the heir, she agreed to some conditions and was represented by a lawyer, raising questions about the family legacy and her new role in the company.

Although Simone Lugner doesn't rule out a discussion in the future, she has currently found peace with the situation: "It took a while until I could deal with it, but it's okay now." The developments surrounding the Lugner family remain exciting; It remains to be seen whether Advent can bring about the turnaround that everyone involved might want.
