why is the German state of north Rhine westphalia so largely populated? are there any agricultural or climate factors as to why it’s as populated as it is,?

I have no good idea of how good it is for agriculture but I do know it is a good area for the industry.
The industrial revolution in Germany starts here in the Ruhr area, first water power mills and later wbu using coal which there is a lot of here.
It was easy to transport goods on Rhein and other rivers and later by railroad.
So like many other countries the large city today is a result of the industrial revolution. The three largest urban areas in the UK is Greater London, Greater Manchester, and West Midlands (around Birmingham). The to later are a result of the industrial revolution.
The high population in the industrialized nations is not where there is good agriculture, it is primary where there is work. The percentage of people that work in agriculture has dropped significantly because it is mechanization. You can still live in a city and support agriculture but being a part of the supply change for the equipment they use,
There are still lots of people in North Rhine Westphalia because there are still a lot of jobs in the industry.
