As of match played 29 August 2026

Kohr was born in Trier, Germany, the son of ex-footballer Harald Kohr. He has a sister, Karoline Kohr, who is also a footballer. As a young boy, Kohr wanted to be a footballer and moved to Leverkusen after joining the club when he was 14. According to Kohr, he said it was difficult for his mother, quoting: "But it was important to my parents that I do not come to a boarding school but live with a family." Because of this, he decided to do an apprenticeship as a sports and fitness trainer there, which "lasts three years, because of his high school diploma he wants to shorten to two and a half years."
