Live and act
Vogt attended elementary school and was then trained as a metal worker. Vogt had been politically organized since 1908, and had been a member of the trade union since 1911. After the First World War he joined the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). From 1925 to 1927 Vogt was a leading member of the ultra-left in Leipzig, which at times belonged to the Weddinger opposition . For the KPD he was a member of the Reichstag from 1928 to 1930 and from 1932 to 1933 . In the Berlin parliament he initially represented constituency 17 (Westphalia-North) from 1928 to 1930, and later, from July to November 1932, constituency 6 (Pomerania) and constituency 2 (Berlin), from November 1932 to March 1933.
During the Weimar period, Vogt was imprisoned several times for various political offenses: in total, he was twice in prison for a month, once in fortress detention and once in prison for eight months. He was also fined once. During the time of National Socialism , Vogt was again imprisoned for a longer period.
After 1945 Vogt was no longer able to retain any important functions. In 1948 he took over the management of the politically insignificant main department for German resettlers in the administration of the interior of the Soviet occupation zone (SBZ). In addition, Vogt emerged as a philatelist (stamp collector). He officially took this private area of interest into account in the 1950s by becoming chairman of the Central Philatelic Commission of the Presidential Council of the GDR Cultural Association .
