    Bears: Berliner Bears

  • Bears are quite common in the Berlin region - the statuary kind.

    A "Bear Rampant" (that means standing up) features very prominently on the official seal of the City of Berlin.

    BUT, contrary to popular belief, the origins of the city name "Berlin" have nothing to do with Bears. "Berlin" seems to derive from an older Slavic word, "Brl", which means "marsh" or "very damp place". There you have it.
