  The cheesecake you are referring to is quarkkuchen. To
  the best of my knowledge, the closest thing to "quark"
  would be pureed or strained cottage cheese.
    Here's a recipe for you. Prepare dough and with it
  line bottom and sides of a greased cake tin. Strain
  cottage cheese, stir in cream. Add sugar, eggs, grated
  lemon peel, vanilla, raisins and cornstarch. Mix flour
  and baking soda and add. Pour batter into dough
  lining, top with grated almonds and bake in 375F oven
  for about 1 hour.  When done, cool cake in a warm
  place.  Do not chill. CRUST; Mix all ingredients and,
  on a bread board, knead to a supple dough.  Roll out
  and use as instructed in above recipe. In view of the
  large butter content of this dough, it should be
  thoroughly cooled before baking.
