Mark Wahlberg is the great-grandson of Axel Gustave Wahlberg and Ida Albertina Peterson. Both were from Sweden. He also has some Irish ancestors on his father's side with last names of Doherty, Dunn, Bradley, and Reddin.
On his mothers side he has Irish, English, and French-Canadian ancestors.
I am not aware of any German descent, but it's possible.

RafaNo, Mark Wahlberg's mother is not known to be of Italian descent.
Specifically, the performer/producer in question is the son of Alma Elaine Bradley Wahlberg. Specialists still question the exact etymology of the name Alma, which may represent the feminine form of the Latin adjective almus ("fostering, kind"). The name translates as "soul" from Italian into English. But its use as a feminine given name was popular in England, which is one of the countries (along with French Canada and Ireland) where the actor's maternal ancestors can be traced.
