Dual citizenship is not possible if you apply for German citizenship - which would be the case.
the average time for the process is 3 years ...
Sorry for being very direct, but almost everything in your post is as wrong as it can be. Dual citizenship is possible under German law (see the correct and multiple examples referred to in this thread), the OP never stated that his ancesters were German citizens and being born on the territory of Germany in its borders of 1914 does not automatically imply "Volkszugehörigkeit" and depending on the case citizenship can be granted in less than a year.
