Comedian Jan Boehmermann read out a poem on a satirical show in March viewed as insulting to Erdogan, prompting Erdogan to file a complaint with prosecutors.
The German government had given prosecutors the green light to pursue the case against Boehmermann - a move which brought Chancellor Angela Merkel strong criticism. But prosecutors on Tuesday said they had not found sufficient evidence to support the filing of charges.
