The reason probably is that Frankfurt has a maintenance facility, for engine repair for the aircarrier you were flying with. Otherwise, they have to rent the facilities at Nuremberg. And this means flying in engine spares, a crew, and specialty tools to make the engine swap. It's a very big logistics problem.
