The publisher of the Financial Times' German offshoot has said production will be stopped shortly and some 320 employees will lose their jobs.
The Financial Times Deutschland has a circulation of about 100,000.
It was launched at the height of the Internet boom in 2000 but was never profitable.
Hamburg based publisher Gruner + Jahr said it sees "no way" to continue publishing the loss making paper beyond December 7 amid further falling advertisement revenues.
The paper's journalists first reported that the daily is "about to be stopped" after a board meeting on Wednesday.
The publisher of the English-language Financial Times, Pearson, sold its stake in the German paper in 2008, but it continued to appear on the same distinctive salmon-colored paper.
