Germany doesn't allow dual with countries outside the EU
That is not 100% true, there are many exemptions e.g. a lot of turkish/german duals.
People from countrys that don't release from citizenship (e.g. Iran) can generally get dual.
Maybe there will be an exemption for UK people too, that is not clear at the moment.

OK, yes for completeness that is true, and The Netherlands also allows it for Turkey, because in Turkey you cannot renounce your nationality, the laws don't allow it AND you get automatic Turkish citizenship at birth.
ATM any UK citizens can hold dual, but I sure hope like the Dutch government they can make an exception for after Brexit days, because then that law isn't valid anymore (from what people were told when asked)

German embassy in London has clarified on its website that any German citizen obtaining a UK citizenship before Brexit can keep the German citizenship after Brexit without having to apply for an exemption. Germany allows dual citizenship if it is with another EU country, for other countries you have to apply for an exemption before getting the second citizenship.

Maybe, maybe not, the law has yet to be passed.
And Austrians are still in the same boat, Germany doesn't allow dual with countries outside the EU (which the UK will soon be) and then there's the point of principle: Forcing people into a citizenship is rather bizarre, and taking away existing rights of people that could not vote on a decision is also rather amoral, I think.
I can probably work something out, even if this won't happen I have a lot of paperwork and have always worked, I could even change job to get a wage increase (and more working hours, so yay) to get to more money if needed.
It's the whole lack of any attempt to compromise compared to EU rights and the indirect approval of xenophobia by the UK government that is just not great. It's not personal, but that's what the bad guys in movies say too :/
