On January 1st, 1847, 15-year-old Wilhelm Schmitz began his commercial training and later his professional career there. Due to his skills, he took over the management of the now under Wilh in 1857 together with Ludwig Lindgens (1827–1910) . Schmitz & Lindgens operating company. Since Lindgens was actually only a financial partner and had founded the Lindgens leather factory together with his wife in 1861 , he withdrew from the business at the end of 1866.

On January 1, 2009, Plus merged with Netto Marken-Discount , which belongs to the Edeka group ; Edeka holds a majority of 85 percent in the newly founded company. Plus and Netto together now achieve roughly the sales figures of the industry leaders Lidl and Aldi. The Plus branches were renamed Netto by mid-2010.

However, on July 12, 2016, the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court prohibited the merger until further notice.

Others

During the Bundestag election campaign in 1994, the Haub family, who owned it, placed advertisements in newspapers under the motto: “In case of doubt for Kohl”, calling for the re-election of the incumbent Chancellor Helmut Kohl ( CDU ). In 2005 the campaign for the then opposition leader Angela Merkel (CDU) was repeated with the slogan “In doubt, a woman” for the federal election. In 2013, the Haub family again advertised the election of the CDU / CSU and recommended that the readers of the ad, referring to the Merkel diamond and the Steinbrück - stinkefinger , " if in doubt, opt for the diamond". From 1995 the so-called “Run to Tengelmann” was held annually. The participation fees go to institutions that promote disabled sports. In 2014, there was only a reduced run: Due to the Pentecost Storm Ela , only the school runs started, as large parts of the senior routes were not passable due to broken trees or possible falling branches. The event has not taken place since 2016. Because of the withdrawal from the grocery store, sponsors from the grocery industry are no longer available. In May 2017, an open day was held on a much smaller scale.

Since April 7, 2018, the managing partner of Tengelmann KG, Karl-Erivan Haub, has been missing. He disappeared during his training for the Patrouille des Glaciers in the Matterhorn area. On April 17, 2018, his brother Christian WE Haub took over the sole management of the group.
