Fueter was born as the son of the well-known architect Rudolf Eduard Fueter in Basel, where he also attended schools. After graduating from high school in 1895, he studied history and ancient languages in Basel and Berlin . After his doctorate in Basel in 1899, stays in London and Paris followed .
From 1903 to 1921 he was a private lecturer at the University of Zurich , from 1915 titular professor. In addition, he worked from 1904 to 1907 and from 1912 to 1921 as an editor for the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ), first in the domestic and later in the international section.
In 1911 he published his main work, "The History of Modern Historiography", which appeared in various editions and translations (French, Italian, Spanish) and is still considered a standard work today. Since the alleged hostility towards Germany and other reasons led to his dismissal from the NZZ and the termination of his academic career, Fueter had to make a living as a bank clerk in Basel in the last years of his life.
His son Eduard Fueter (1908–1970) was also a historian.
