Germans do have nice trains, no denying that.

My understanding of rural Germany is that villages are usually are within 6 km of each other. Is this fairly accurate?

I remember seeing a video or article about how towns in rural USA are ~15 miles (24 km) away from each other because half this distance is what a person could walk in a day, handle in-town business, and be home by dark.

Density makes a big difference.

Pretty much. You have to search for places, where that distance is higher. But there is a increasingly number of ghost villages, where only some old people remain.
