Heiko Maas said this decision is unacceptable and that he will campaign against him.
The reporters were given ten days to leave the country. It is thought that this is the first time Turkey has officially rejected foreign journalists' accreditation.
The move has revived concerns about a press freedom ban in Turkey.
Dozens of Turkish journalists have been imprisoned for suspected links to a group that the government blames for a failed Puch effort in July 2016.
