Correct, and Berlin hasn't been the largest metro in Germany for a very long time. Rhine-Ruhr has around 11.3 million people. It's a polyglot (much like Osaka) comprised of many cities like Cologne, Dusseldorf, Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg, and Bochum. Area wise, Rhine-Rhur is the same size as the Toronto CMA, but with twice as many people.
