Employed in Germany?
EU citizens as well as citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland enjoy the freedom of movement and the freedom of residence within the single European Market. They are free to live and work in Germany.
All they have to do is to register with the appropriate office of the town hall mostly called "Einwohnermeldeamt" or "Bürgeramt".
This simple procedure applies for citizens of Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Sweden, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
A lot of information about the legal framework of employment in Germany can be found online in the "Living and Working" section of EURES (EURopean Employment Services).
