Maybe best to do a combination of moving the texts and lengthening the spanner:

\score {
    \new Staff {
        \override TextSpanner.springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
        \override TextSpanner.minimum-length = 25
        \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text =
          \markup \halign #-0.5 { \bold { wieder zurück ins } }
        \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text =
          \markup \halign #-0.6 { \bold { Hauptzeitmaß } }
        c''1\startTextSpan |
        c''1\stopTextSpan
    }
}
