Son of Will Quadflieg and Gräfin Benita von Vegesack, brother of Roswitha Quadflieg.

He was also engaged at the Salzburg Festival.

He regularly toured Germany with programmes of reading the work of various poets. In later years he was seen less on TV, which he explained with 'his search for a better quality of his roles'.

He was the German synchronization voice of, among others, Dean Stockwell in Paris, Texas and of Robert Taylor in Broadway Melody of 1936 and The Crowd Roars.

Between 1969 and 1973 he was a member of the theater companies in Oberhausen, Wuppertal and Basel. These were followed by work in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Vienna and Zürich.

Quadflieg had roles in a great number of TV series and movies, among them "Der Alte", "Derrick", "Das Traumschiff," "Siska", "Vater wider Willen" and "Ein Fall für zwei". He had also a well-known role in the famous Tatort episode (Reifezeugnis) "Maturity Certificate", in which he played a young teacher who begins a love affair with a student, played by Nastassja Kinski.

Christian Quadflieg attended school in Hamburg. After he finished his education with the Abitur (A-levels) he began a three-year long education at the Westfälische Schauspielschule Bochum.

In 2008 Quadflieg founded his own CD label C.Q.Orpheu. Of the numerous CD recordings, "Fathers and Sons - Letter Exchange Thomas Mann and Klaus Mann" won the German Record Critics' Prize.

In the 40 episodes of Der Landarzt, he portrayed the title role of Dr. Karsten Matthiesen and in 16 of these episodes he also worked as director.

During his time in Oberhausen he worked under the name Christian Urs as he did not want to profit from the fame of his father Will Quadflieg, who was born and raised in Oberhausen.
