From the JPL Small-Body DataBase:

Hermann Carl Vogel (1841-1907) was a German astronomer and spectroscopist. He invented an early scheme to classify stellar spectra and confirmed the sun's rotation. He directed the Potsdam Astrophysical Observatory from 1882 to 1907.

The symbol of this minor planet is a monogram of the letters H. C. V. over an astronomer's star-in-circle.
