Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Italic title Der Bote ('The Messenger') was a German-language Mennonite newspaper published in Winnipeg, Manitoba, by Mennonite Church Canada.

Der Bote was first published 16 January 1924 as Der Mennonitische Immigrantenbote by Dietrich H. Epp at Rosthern, Saskatchewan,[1] to serve as a point of contact for German-speaking Russian Mennonites immigrating to Canada after World War I.[2] In 1926 the name was shortened to simply Der Bote. Around this time, the size of the paper was increased to 25 by 19 inches from 9½ by 12½. In 1947, Der Bote merged with Christlicher Bundesbote and became the weekly paper for the General Conference Mennonite Church.[3] By 1950, circulation was 4500, of which 1000 were distributed in Europe and South America as a service to immigrants.[2]

In January 2000 the publication frequency was reduced to 24 times a year and the format reduced to letter size.[2] In 2006, it had approximately 2350 subscribers, down from 9000 in the mid-1970s,[3] with circulation in North America, South America, Russia, Germany and other European countries.[4]

On 30 March 2008 the newspaper closed down and ceased publication due to declining readership.[3][5]
