question for Germans who got British citizenship

I'm a German citizen who has recently acquired British citizenship, and I know that I did not lose my German citizenship, because the UK was still an EU country at the time of my naturalization.

I just wanted to double-check if I am supposed to notify the German authorities of my additional nationality at this point, apart from when I'll need to renew my German passport a few years down the line (I know there's a question on the form concerning that). I'm pretty sure that I don't, but just in case…

(Sorry if this is a bit of a niche topic, but I think there are few fellow Anglo-Germans on here!)

No requirement to inform the German Botschaft - only when you apply for a new German passport.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation, Alter!
