Morphology

Luxemburger = Luxembourg (transparent) = Luxembourg + er

Same regular adjectival/demonymic formation; although this sense specifies the capital city, the morphological derivation is still clear.

Etymology

Luxemburger comes from the city name Luxembourg and the ending -er, which means 'from' or 'of', as in Londoner. Because the country and its capital share the same name, Luxemburger can mean 'of the city' as well as 'of the country'.
