Johannes Hermann August Wilhelm Max Spohr (November 17, 1850 in Braunschweig – November 15, 1905 in Leipzig) was a German bookseller and publisher.
Later Adolf Brand in Berlin published the first LGBT periodical magazine Der Eigene.
On December 20, 1880, he married Elisabeth Hannöver-Jansen, and fathered three sons with her.
In 1897, Magnus Hirschfeld founded the Scientific Humanitarian Committee with Spohr, the lawyer Eduard Oberg, and the writer Franz Joseph von Bülow.
