History

Johann Peter Spehr of Braunschweig (Brunswick) set up a shop in 1791; the business grew and an engraver joined in 1794. In 1800 he opened a branch in Hamburg. After J. P. Spehr's death, his son Gustav Adolf Spehr took over the business but in 1844 sold a large portion off to Carl Bachmann in Hannover. After his death, Gustav Adolf's widow sold the rest to Carl Weinholtz, which in turn was taken over by Julius Bauer and Julius Pahlmann. The Hamburg branch was taken over by Schuberth in 1852.
