Adjectives that are derived from a place name and end in '-er' form a special group. They describe origin from or association with that place.

Bavarian
'bayerisch' and 'Nürnberger' both refer to places in Germany and can appear in contexts involving culture, food, or origin. 'bayerisch' means the whole federal state of Bavaria or something typical of Bavaria. 'Nürnberger' refers more specifically to the city of Nuremberg or something that comes from Nuremberg. The words can be confused because Nuremberg is in Bavaria. But 'Nürnberger' is narrower: everything Nuremberg-related is Bavarian in this sense, but not everything Bavarian is Nuremberg-related. Also important: the place adjective 'Nürnberger' is capitalized in standard German.
Am Bahnhof hat meine Freundin Nürnberger Lebkuchen gekauft.
At the train station, my friend bought Nuremberg gingerbread.
Im Restaurant bestellt Tom ein bayerisches Gericht mit Knödeln.
At the restaurant, Tom orders a Bavarian dish with dumplings.
