What is a food named after a German city?
There are several I can think of: - Frankfurter - Hamburger - Wienerschnitzel (Wien - Vienna in Austria) - Vienna sausages - Berliner - Linzertorte (very yummy shortbread cake named after the Austrian city) I expect there are many others.

Is frankfurter a compound word?
Not really. A compound word is one which creates a new meaning by combining two existing words. 'Frankfurter', a name for a particular kind of sausage, is a borrowing from German, where it was named after the city of Frankfurt -- just as 'hamburger' is named after the German city of Hamburg. But historically, the city's name was derived from 'Vadum Francorum' (in Latin), which meant 'French ford'. So I suppose the original city name 'Frankfurt' was once a compound -- but it hasn't been regarded as that for many centuries.
