Yes, Nuremberg was the place of the annual Nazi rallies and a trial of the Nazi leaders there would have had symbolic significance. However, by coincidence Nuremberg's city centre also had one of the few remaining buildings in Germany in 1946 that was large enough to accommodate such an important event -with hundreds of participants- and had not been destroyed by the allies' aerial bombardment.

The Nuremberg Trials are a series of trials most notable for the prosecution of prominent members of the political, military and economic leadership of Nazi Germany. The trials were held in the city of Nuremberg, Germany, from 1945 to 1949, at the Nuremberg Palace of Justice. The first and best known of these trials was the Trial of the Major War Criminals Before the International Military Tribunal

Joe's got the best answer - The huge NSDAP(?) rallies were held periodically in the big stadium at Nuremberg, so it was both ironic and appropriate to try the party leaders for war crimes there.

Because the trial was held in Nuremberg it was called Nuremberg trial. Not the other way.

Nuremberg was the site of some of the Nazi party's annual rallies. These rallies were meant to exault Hitler, Nazism and the Nazi's anti-semitic ideology. So it was a perfect place to conduct the trials of those responible for the crimes of WWII.
It is also centrally located, I think.
