Karl Friedrich Otto Vogel (born January 15, 1812 in Berlin ; † February 3, 1851 ) was a German wood cutter .
Otto Vogel was the son of the Berlin sculptor Johann Daniel Vogel and brother of the wood cutter Johann Philipp Albert Vogel (1814–1886). He attended the Gray Monastery high school and then went to the Berlin Art Academy . In 1834 Vogel was hired as a wood cutter at the J. Baumgärtner publishing house in Leipzig alongside his brother. In 1838 the Vogel brothers' illustrations for Shakespeare's works were published by the Leipzig publishing house. This made Adolph Menzel aware of Otto Vogel and commissioned him to cut his drawings for the illustrated edition (1843–1846) of the works of Frederick the Great in wood. Otto Vogel died while he was working on the realization of Kaulbach's illustrations for Decker 's splendid edition of the New Testament .
Otto Vogel was friends with the painter Carl Gottfried Pfannschmidt .
