This is a regional variety of German cheesecake, which is made with quark instead of cream cheese like its American counterpart. Frankonia is a beautiful, quirky, separatist, hilly region of northern Bavaria and is probably best known for its quality white wines.
There is a wide variety of German cheesecakes, often with additonal ingredients (poppyseed, apples, rhubarb...) but this is a traditional, very reduced and simple recipe, and the slices come in flat squares. This also means that while it's quite easy to make, it needs careful preparation and high quality ingredients, otherwise it may taste a bit bland.
