Thats because of the federal structure of Germany and the Allied Occupation both established after WW2.
All the EX-Wehrmacht EOD teams had to be put somewhere, as there was no german Army after WW2.
Every German State has them, its called Kampfmittelräumdienst (iirc its called Bomb disposal unit in english) so they belong to the German Police force, also there are private Companies (mostly Ex Military EOD) in Bavaria which are on the behalf of the Bavarian Government and in Hamburg the Bomb disposal unit is part of the Fire department.
