Emanuel Bruno Quaet-Faslem was born in Dendermonde, a town on the Scheldt in Flanders , in 1785 . First he received training as a draftsman and carpenter and worked from 1804 as a construction carpenter, a. a. at the architect Jean Baptiste Pisson in Ghent . He recognized and promoted Quaet-Faslem's talent, so that from 1804 to 1810 he was able to study architecture at the Gent Academy.

After completing his studies, Quaet-Faslem worked again for some time as a construction manager at Pisson, then he joined the French bridge and road construction team (French: Service des Ponts et des Chaussées ) - the former Austrian Netherlands had been annexed by France in 1797 . In the service of the French military, responsible for building major military roads, Quaet-Faslem came to northwest Germany as an entrepreneur after the Fourth Coalition War, which was annexed to the French Empire on January 1, 1811 .

After the end of the French annexation, Quaet-Faslem remained in the Kingdom of Hanover, which had emerged from the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg . He settled in the Arrondissement of Nienburg , initially briefly in Bassum , later in the city of Nienburg, from where he worked until the end of his life in 1851. In Nienburg he developed into an important master builder and local politician and finally became an honorary citizen of the city: in 1827 he was appointed "Commerzien-Commissär", in 1832 promoted to building council, in 1834 to senator and finally to "Ober-Commerzien-Commissär".

Quaet-Faslem contributed significantly to the development of the Nienburger Realschule (founded in 1831), from which the building trade school for architecture and civil engineering should emerge after his death . As a senator in the city of Nienburg, he was responsible for the building industry, promoting the classicist-rationalist redesign of the cityscape. He also campaigned for the Bremen – Hanover railway to be run via Nienburg. He was a founding member of the Nienburg Freemason Lodge Georg zum Silber Unicorn .
