'stuttgarter' and 'württembergisch' both refer to places in southwestern Germany, but not to the same area. 'stuttgarter' means the city of Stuttgart or something from that city. 'württembergisch' refers to Württemberg, meaning a larger historical and cultural region. Learners may confuse the words because Stuttgart is in Württemberg. For things from the city, use 'stuttgarter'; for regional history, culture, or origin, 'württembergisch' fits better.
