    Wild garlic - or wood garlic - or bear leek
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allium_ursinum
    In German this plant is known as Bär-Lauch = bear leek

    No - it is not.
    You mistake it for the "Lilly of the Valley" - in German: "Mai-Glöckchen".
    A common error.

    Wild garlic or bear leek I have also in my garden - for decorative reasons - not for eating. :)

    In the US, it is Allium tricoccum a/k/a Ramps or Wild Garlic. I grow some. I eat a little every year but a little goes a long way it is so strong. There is actually a problem with it being overharvested in the wild because the actual plant went from poor people food to high dollar foodie seasonal cuisine that can fetch a pretty penny. It has a super short growing season here in the US and takes 7 years to mature which doesn't help it much.

    I thought the botanical names in Latin are the same the world over.
    Is it not Allium ursinum?

    They are not the same plants. More like first cousins.
