From 1911 to 1917 he attended both the Bischöfliche Konvikt in Speyer and the humanistic grammar school in Kaiserslautern . He came back from the front at the end of the First World War with gas poisoning . After a Notabitur he participated in the University of Würzburg the study of economics and a doctorate only 22-year Doctor of Political Sciences (mcL) with the legal history subject the traveling people in the Palatinate . After a traineeship at the Saarzeitung and the Palatinate Volksbote, his journalistic career began in Viersen on the Lower Rhine. From 1922 to 1926 he was managing director of the German Center Party for the cities of Mönchengladbach and Viersen and of the local political association in the Kempen district . He was also a lecturer at the administration school in Viersen. Before he was head of department in the employment offices in Kaiserslautern and Pirmasens from 1928 to 1933 , he was part of the management of the political (central) weekly German Republic in Frankfurt and Munich. This was published by the Rhein-Mainische Volkszeitung publishing house in Frankfurt aM

In addition, from 1931 to 1933 he was the author (pseudonym: Der Schlack ) of the political-satirical newspaper column Voices vom Horeb , which appeared monthly in the Pirmasenser Zeitung .

After the National Socialists seized power , Vogt was on March 19, 1933 a. a. Due to his active political activity in the Center Party, for which he often appeared as a meeting speaker, and his open attitude towards Nazi criticism, he was released from civil service without notice and then placed in so-called protective custody. In the same year he was released from the civil labor camp in Lachen-Speyerdorf near Neustadt an der Weinstrasse (Palatinate); the camp doctor, a former classmate, had written him unable to camp. After many difficulties with the Nazi regime in the form of controls and house searches, he became chief editor for culture at the Palatinate Tageblatt and, after this newspaper had to cease publication, at the Palatinate Press in Kaiserslautern. In July 1938 he was dismissed without notice by the NSDAP's Gaupresseamt ​​(quote from KH.Schauder: Because he did not want to and could not bow to the "brown language regulation" ). In order to be able to look after his wife and 5 children, he worked as a businessman in his brother Heinrich's construction company until the end of the Second World War.

When he died in 1947 "after a serious illness" without a direct heir, Karl Anton Vogt took over the company together with his siblings and, after the siblings had been severed, continued to run them as a newly founded GmbH from 1950 , together with his wife, his eldest son Hans and a managing director.

After 1945, Karl Anton Vogt became politically active as a member of the council of the city of Landstuhl, the district assembly in Kaiserslautern and the constituent and advisory assembly of the Rhineland-Palatinate, the predecessor of the Rhineland-Palatinate state assembly. He was a founding member of the CDU-Palatinate. From 1945 to 1949 he was appointed honorary mayor of the city of Landstuhl by the French occupying power. On May 1, 1950, he was reinstated in the civil service (reparation laws) as a senior civil servant in the state labor administration in Kaiserslautern as a councilor. The construction company was continued by his wife with the son and the manager. He continued to cultivate writing as his passion. On November 25, 1951, Vogt died unexpectedly - only 52 years old - of a heart attack .
