Hans Vogt (1911-1992) was a German composer and pedagogue.  He studied composition with Georg Schumann at the Prussian Academy of Arts and received training in piano, cello, conducting, and music education at the Akademie für Kirchen- und Schulmusik (1930-34) in Berlin.  

From 1935 to 1938 he was chief conductor of the Detmold Opera, and then was music director in Stralsund from 1938 to 1944.  In 1951 he became a teacher of composition at the Mannheim Hochschule für Musik where he was a professor from 1971 to 1978.  From 1963 to 1984 he was also chairman of the Gesellschaft für Neue Musik in Mannheim.  

In this more than 60 works there can be seen various influences of modernism, including Hindemith, Schoenberg and Bartók, but many of his works give evidence of his study with the post-Romantic teacher Georg Schumann.
