    I searched for "u-bahn" on DB's website and got 0 results.

    Strange. Concerning the validity of tickets however, irrelevant.

    But one of
    Eurail's brochures states that a rail pass is good on any DB train.
    So the question seems to be, are any of Germany's U-Bahns run by DB?

    What you are looking for is the "CityTicket" option that makes you DB ticket valid for local transportation at your destination. Includes S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Stadtbahn, Straßenbahn (tram) and busses, regardless who operates them.

    For our Capital, the rule shall be extended from Berlin A to
    Berlin AB next Sunday. Should also work officially with
    BahnCard100 Rail Passes.

    I would not try with Eurail or Interrail.

    You are 10 years too late with that advice.
