Writing style of first paragraph[edit]

For some reason, most of the content in the first paragraph keeps repeating about the size of the city in relation to different geographical areas.

sixth largest city of the most populous German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia after Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Essen and Duisburg,
16th largest city of Germany.
second largest city of Westphalia after Dortmund
the fourth largest city of the Ruhr after Dortmund, Essen and Duisburg.
the sixth largest and one of the southernmost cities in the Low German dialect area.

Not sure does it that necessary to be very detailed like that, specifically in the first paragraph.
