Live and act

Vogels was the son of a high school director. After attending school, he studied law . In 1907 he became a court trainee in Cologne and, after completing his legal preparatory service, in 1912 a court assessor.

From 1914 to 1919 Vogels was employed by the public prosecutor in Cologne. He then worked as a government councilor at the Reich Commissioner for the Occupied Rhenish Territories in Koblenz until 1923 . After the tensions between Germany and France in the Rhineland escalated as a result of the French occupation of the Ruhr area , Vogels was expelled from the area on the left bank of the Rhine by the French occupation authorities in 1923.

In 1923 he was instead accepted into the service of the Reich Ministry of the Interior as senior government councilor . In 1924 he moved to the Reich Ministry for the Occupied Territories , where he remained active until 1926.

In October 1926 the bird was promoted to Ministerial put in the Reich Chancellery, where he took on the role of the financial speakers of the government headquarters. In this capacity he served all Reich Chancellors from Hans Luther to Adolf Hitler until 1933 . Politically, he belonged to the Center Party from 1926 to 1933 .

A few weeks after the National Socialists came to power in the spring of 1933, Vogels was put into temporary retirement on March 4, 1933 as a non-member of the NSDAP. On July 1, 1933, he was instead taken to the service of the Reich Ministry of Finance , where he was employed until at least 1943.

During his time in the Reich Ministry of Finance, Vogels developed and published (under the name Heinz Vogels) several administrative law manuals: In 1935 he presented the manual on moving costs law . This was followed in 1937 by the Handbook of Reich Housing Regulations , which was created in collaboration with Otto Bröse . The latter had at least three new editions by 1944.

The head of the party chancellery of the NSDAP, Martin Bormann , opposed the promotion of Vogel to ministerial director, which was considered in 1943 and advocated by Reich Finance Minister Lutz Graf Schwerin von Krosigk , referring to Vogels' previous membership in the center.
