Germany only has one big city (Berlin 3.7 million),three sizable cities with over a million residents, and one dense region in the west (the Ruhrgebiet). Otherwise the population spreads out very evenly.

If Germany determined population of cities like Australia does (by metropolitan population) it would have 2 metropolitan areas greater than 5 million people and another 3 with over 2 million people.
So much depends on where you draw city boundaries - in Germany they often don't cover much of the broader urban area. In the case of the Ruhrgebiet medium-sized cities border each other to form one larger conurbation that isn't recognised by the traditional way of measuring population by city.
One minor correction: there are 2 „dense regions“ in Germany! Other one is the „Rhein-Main“-region with Frankfurt, Offenbach, Mainz, Wiesbaden in the north and Ludwigshafen, Mannheim, Heidelberg in the south. Could even include Karlsruhe further in the south. It‘s population: bigger than Ruhrgebiet!
