The Bear is on the official seal for the city of Berlin and the cities adopted animal. It is very possible out of the almost ten thousand teams that are out there that two would pick the same name.
To end up in the same league and then the same division is much more unlikely. But I don't think there are any shenanigans going on here.
Also, there is a professional hockey team names the Berlin Ice Bears, so the precedent is there as well.
