David Montgomery’s European newspaper group, Mecom, has succeeded in finding a buyer for its German titles.
M DuMont Schauberg has bought the German business – including titles such as the Hamburger Morgenpost and Berliner Zeitung – for £135m (€152m).
Mecom said the titles were read by about a million people each day, with a further three million unique users visiting their websites.
The London-listed group confirmed shortly before Christmas that it had received approaches “for a number of assets”.
