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)

There must be other reasons for allowing turkish duals as they definitely release from citizenship (I know some people that have done this, most of them duals born in germany that have no relations to turkey).

Anyway, I hope the UK citizens here in germany can stay/become duals/whatever.
