The Bayern Munich trio helped Germany win the 2014 World Cup but have been sensationally axed from the team.
Low has claimed the incredible move is all part of a "new start" for the German national team in a major shake-up.
The boss told Bild: "They have spent countless years for Germany and the national team.
"I thank Mats, Jerome and Thomas for the many successful, extraordinary and unique years together.
"It was important to me personally to explain to the players and managers of Bayern my thoughts and plans today."
Germany struggled mightily at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, crashing out in the group stages – their earliest exit since 1938.
And Low suggested their awful showing proved there was much to be done, adding: "They are all still world-class players who are at the forefront of their club and guarantee success.
"They are big players who stand for a big time in the national team. They have spent countless years for Germany and the national team.
"I thank Mats, Jerome and Thomas for the many successful, extraordinary and unique years together.
"In the national team, however, it is now important to set the course for the future. We want to give the team a new face.
"I am convinced that this is the right step.
"In the year of qualifying for the European Championship 2020, we are sending a clear signal of renewal.
"The young national team players will have the space they need to fully develop. You have to take responsibility now."
