Huegel, son of the lawyer Joseph Huegel , passed the Abitur at the Realgymnasium Weinheim. He then studied law at the Universities of Freiburg and Heidelberg . The first state examination he was in 1935 and his doctorate in 1937 in Heidelberg with the dissertation "Does the case law in the field of motor vehicle courtesy ride to the requirements of the Nazi legal opinion?" To Dr. jur.

Hügel, a member of the NSDAP ( membership number 3.407.445) and from 1933 of the SS (SS number 111.845), then pursued an administrative career at the SD leadership section in Stuttgart under Ernst Peter and later succeeded Peter in his function. Hügel became the SD commissioner for “German-friendly movements” in Switzerland. During the Second World War , Hügel met several times with members of the Volksbund for the independence of Switzerland for negotiations, which later led to the Hügel affair in Switzerland .

In June 1940 the National Movement of Switzerland (NBS) was founded, which, oriented towards the NSDAP, was composed of the front movement and right-wing radical groups. This right-wing Swiss unity movement was remote-controlled by Hügel from the German Reich and continued illegally from November 1940 after the party was banned in Switzerland. From the beginning of August 1940, Hügel headed the SD-Leitabschnitt Stuttgart and the Alemannic working group as the successor to Peter. During his visits to Switzerland, Hügel pretended to be the cultural representative of the Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda and an economic delegate, and was only exposed as an SD officer by the Swiss authorities at the end of August 1942.

From March 1943, Hügel was the representative for national politics of the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle in Liechtenstein . From mid-April 1943 he headed the Switzerland / Principality of Liechtenstein department in Department VI (SD Foreign Intelligence Service) under Walter Schellenberg at the Reich Security Main Office in Berlin . In June 1943, Hügel was promoted to SS-Sturmbannführer .

From March 6, 1944, Hügel was deployed to the commander of the Security Police and the SD (BdS) in Verona . Towards the end of the war, Hügel was taken prisoner by the English on April 28, 1945 and was questioned several times during internment. At the end of the 1940s he was denazified as a minor offender .

Hill later became Head of Human Resources at Porsche Diesel Motorenbau GmbH in Friedrichshafen and then headed the Daimler-Benz Museum in Stuttgart. Huegel was interviewed by the historian Jürgen Schremser in Tettnang in early May 1997 as part of a research project.
