(In 2016, Tengelmann reached agreement to sell its struggling Kaiser's-Tengelmann supermarkets division for an undisclosed sum.) Since 2000, Karl-Erivan Haub, the oldest of the three sons of Erivan Haub, has been at the helm.

Another unit, Tengelmann E-Commerce, comprises various online retailing ventures as well as stakes in digital businesses including Zalando (the European equivalent of online shoe and clothing retailer Zappo's). The group also includes an energy services provider, a professional services outfit specializing in audits and consulting, and a property management and real estate development company. Erivan Haub has strong ties to Tacoma, Washington, where his sons were born. A civic booster and one of the city's largest real estate owners, he is credited with helping revitalize Union Station and is a major contributor to the University of Washington Tacoma, the Museum of Glass and the LeMay Automobile Museum. Other holdings include a buffalo ranch in Wyoming and 3,000 acres in Methow Valley, in the Cascade mountains of northern Washington, where he also owns a ski resort, Sun Valley Mountain Lodge.

Erivan Haub was born 29 September 1932 in Wiesbaden, Germany. He was the son of Erich Haub and Elizabeth Haub (née Schmitz-Scholl) (1899–1977), who originates from the Mülheim family Schmitz-Scholl, the owners of the grocery chain Tengelmann.

Erivan Haub married Helga Otto in 1958. They lived in Wiesbaden and had three sons:

1960

After the Second World War, he completed two internships with the Jewel Tea company in Chicago and the Alpha-Beta company in La Habra, California, before returning to Germany to study economics at the University of Hamburg. In the 1960s, he and his wife lived in Tacoma, Washington. He gave a big donation to the Tacoma Art Museum which led to more extensive Western Art ownership. At one time, he was the 6th richest man in the U.S., just one position ahead of Bill Gates, but later dropped to about 250th. Haub died at his home in Wyoming, USA.

1963

He joined the family Business in 1963. Upon the death of his uncle Karl Schmitz-Scholl in March, 1969 he became the group's managing Director. Haub concentrated the Tengelmann group Business on the Retail trade. Under his guidance Tengelmann expanded: in 1971 it took over the grocery chain Kaiser's; in 1972 Haub founded the discount grocery retailer Plus. In the following years, Tengelmann focused on the development of its international Business, which led to the 1979 takeover of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company. In 2000, he handed the position over to his son Karl-Erivan, and joined the supervisory board.
