Life

Vogel studied in West Berlin in 1962 and 1963 before returning to Basel , Switzerland. There he founded the Swiss monthly magazine Neutralität in 1963 without equity , which he published himself. In his article "Tauwetter" in Cahier 18 ( ISBN 978-2-9701109-7-2 , pages 133 and ff. Of the Center Dürrenmatt Neuchâtel), Vogel mentions the human emergency in Berlin, which was then divided during the Cold War. This gave rise to the establishment of the journal Neutralität ; the publication became an organ for peaceful coexistence. Well-known authors such as Arnold Künzli , Konrad Farner and Max Frisch wrote in it . The journal received financial support from the Swiss German specialist Walter Muschg until 1965 . Vogel and his circle of friends from around the magazine described themselves as nonconformists .

From 1967 to 1968 he worked in the Cortesi office in Biel and was “supported in establishing“ neutrality ”by Mario Cortesi”. From autumn 1968 he was back in Bern .

In 1969, the Swiss playwright Friedrich Dürrenmatt was awarded the Great Literature Prize of the Canton of Bern . He passed it on to Sergius Golowin , Arthur Villard and Paul Ignaz Vogel on the occasion of the presentation ceremony .

At the end of 1969, Vogel raised the charge that the then Swiss Federal Councilor Ludwig von Moos was close to the anti-Semitism of the Nazis. In the biography of Georges Brunschvig published in 2016 , Hannah Einhaus wrote : «In response to an interpellation in the National Council against a Globke branch in Switzerland, Federal Councilor Ludwig von Moos defended it in October 1964 ... Moos and Globke had two important things in common: Although not a member of the Fronts and the NSDAP, both demonstrated a pronounced anti-Jewish attitude with their writings, and both developed into key figures in their respective countries after the war. " (P. 192ff.) [Note: This is Hans Globke .]

In 1970 Vogel joined the Social Democratic Party of Switzerland “as a reaction against the New Left” and “as a result, with his magazine, became more and more dependent on the SP and the trade unions.” In 1989 he resigned from the Social Democratic Party of Switzerland.

In 1995, through an out-of-court inspection of the state security files, it became known that the Swiss secret service had been closely following Vogel's life from 1962 onwards. In 1974, at the same time as the magazine Neutralität ended the observation of Vogel, in 1974 , as described in the book Napf, a tightrope walk in the Cold War on page 121. The last issue of the journal Neutralität appeared in November 1974 as No. 5 of the 12th year.

In 1996 Vogel founded the sociopolitical media service "Halb / Moitié", himself unemployed. In 1998, Vogel joined the printing and paper union, later comedia (now Syndicom ), where he looked after the unemployed and excluded until mid-2004. In 2005 his autobiographical book Napf was published: A tightrope walk in the Cold War .
