They said dense parts, compare Berlin to zurich

Population density Source: Wikipedia, 2023.
3900 people/km² Berlin
4092 people/km² Zürich

Still not directly comparable, especially using arbitrary city boundaries
It would be hard to do but the most apt comparison is between all of the swiss lowlands in the north vs an equivalent size area of germany

swiss lowlands 10'062,05 km²
Inhabitants/km²: 380
Which region of Germany should I use so it can be comparable?

The Saarland has a population density of 382. However, regardless of the actual density, every dense region will look completely red. It's just that Germany has no large uninhabited areas whereas the Alps in Switzerland are almost uninhabitable.
TLDR: Switzerland's network is denser, it just has bigger holes

Swiss train service is a lot better though we can agree on that. Without looking down on the Deutsche Bahn.

That's arbitrary as well.
