May 2021 ) was a since 7. April 2018 missing entrepreneurs with German , Russian and US citizenship. Until his disappearance in Zermatt , he was the managing and personally liable partner ofTengelmann Group .

Life

As the eldest son of the married couple Erivan (1932–2018) and Helga Haub, née Otto, he grew up mainly in Wiesbaden . He had two younger brothers, Georg and Christian , and was called "Charly" in the family. Since 1989 he has been married to Katrin, nee Haubold, the daughter of Christoph Haubold, a former manager of Rewe , who had left his board post there after the marriage . Haub and his wife have two children, twins, and lived with his family in Cologne until his disappearance . In his spare time he was a skier and ran marathons .

In addition to training as a retail salesman in the Tengelmann Group, Haub studied economics and social sciences at the University of Sankt Gallen from 1978 to 1983, which he completed with a degree in business administration. After initial work experience at Nestlé Foods in Solon , he switched to McKinsey management consultancy in Düsseldorf in 1986 . In 1991 he joined the family-owned company, where he was responsible for rebuilding the east . A year later he became his father's deputy, the sole managing partner.

In 1997, Haub took over responsibility for the operative business in Europe. After their father left in 2000, the brothers Karl-Erivan and Christian WE Haub ran the company as general partners .

In 2007 Haub was elected President of the German Family Business Network (FBN) and in 2015 Chairman of FBN-International. Haub drove the consolidation in the family business. He increased the stake in the DIY store franchise Obi , sold some parts of the foreign holdings of the Plus retail chain and merged the German part of this chain with the Edeka subsidiary Netto Marken-Discount .

In 2009, Haub began to get involved in e-commerce with the subsidiary Tengelmann Ventures . The company invests in start-up companies from the areas of consumer internet, marketplaces and technology and has developed into one of the leading venture capital investors in Germany with around 40 investments .

Lost

On April 7, 2018 , Haub disappeared during his training for the traditional ski mountaineering race Patrouille des Glaciers in the Matterhorn region organized by the Swiss Army . He was considered a very experienced ski mountaineer and had participated in the race for years. At around 9:10 a.m., a video camera in the Klein Matterhorn mountain station recorded it for the last time; from there his trace is lost. On April 13, Haub's family announced that they no longer had any hope of finding him alive, since after more than a week "in the extreme climatic conditions of a glacier area " there was practically no chance of survival. An intensification of the search was only possible after the snow melted.

On June 8, 2018, a memorial service took place for him and his father Erivan Haub, who died in March. In October 2018 the search was discontinued "due to a lack of prospects of success".

In October 2020, his brothers, together with the goods trading company Tengelmann, applied to the Cologne District Court to declare Karl-Erivan Haub dead. As a result, a rift between Karl-Erivan Haub's brothers and his wife became public, as the latter wanted to avoid a declaration of death in order not to have to leave the family business with their children. On January 18, 2021, it was announced that Georg Haub had withdrawn his application for a declaration of death at the Cologne District Court, while the applications by Christian Haub and the Tengelmann Group were upheld.

In November 2020, it was speculated that Haub should have led a secret double life and possibly went into hiding with his lover. Haub had an affair with a Russian businesswoman from Saint Petersburg for more than ten years ; In addition to US citizenship and his German passport, he also had one of the Russian Federation . Between 2010 and 2015 Tengelmann misappropriated company funds in the double-digit millions, most of which are said to have disappeared in Russia. Haub has forbidden examinations after reports of suspicions from the audit department. It was also known that he had business partners, bodyguards, neighbors and even the family shadowed; The shadowing of his brother Georg by a detective agency from Hanover alone cost eight million euros.

On March 16, 2021, the Cologne District Court issued the call and set a deadline of May 12: if neither the missing person nor anyone else who has knowledge of his whereabouts reports by then, the date of disappearance will be set as the date of death. After this deadline, the Cologne District Court decided to declare him dead on April 7, 2018, midnight, and published this decision on May 14, 2021. The death declaration was previously made by his brother and then by his wife and requested the children.
