After one semester, he switched to medicine and completed his medical studies at the Universities of Marburg and Leipzig , which he graduated in Leipzig in 1923. He was awarded a Dr. med. PhD . He spent his time as an assistant in Frankfurt, Leipzig and finally in 1927 at the neurological department of the Medical Clinic in Heidelberg under Viktor von Weizsacker , where he joined in July 1933 of Neurology and Internal Medicine habilitation and then as a lecturer worked. In July 1934 he moved to the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin, where he was appointed associate professor a few months later. He was entrusted with the management of the neurological department of the clinic on Hansaplatz, which he expanded "from a rather neglected storage facility for the brain injured to the leading neurological clinic in Berlin". In October 1941 Vogel followed his teacher Viktor von Weizsäcker, who had been appointed to the University of Breslau, as head of the Ludwig Krehl Clinic in Heidelberg, where he worked until his retirement in 1968. In the meantime he was dean of the medical faculty in 1952 .

During the Second World War he was employed from 1942 as a medical officer and from 1944 as a senior medical officer in Military District XII (Heidelberg). Since 1937 he was a member of the NSDAP .

The research focus of the Weizsäcker pupil was the "psychophysical interrelationships in the development of the respective illness 'picture'". His merit was the rediscovery of Sigmund Freud's early neurological writings, especially on hysteria. Vogel was the author of specialist publications.
