Many pieces of concept art have been created by the makers of Wolfenstein. There are concept art pieces for the different events in Wolfenstein as well as locations and technology.
Concept art was used by the developers to showcase early and final versions of the games in order to see what features would fit into the game.
Wolfenstein: The New Order[]
Allied planes
The Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Force, under the command of the OSA, joined together for the assault on Deathshead’s compound. Hundreds of military transport planes, carrying both troops and war supplies, were flanked by fast fighters from the RAF and the USAAF for protection against enemy planes.
Assault on Baker Shore
The assault on Baker Shore is a last, desperate attempt by the OSA to bring down the infamous General Wilhelm Strasse, a.k.a. “Deathshead”, who according to sources within the Nazi Party is the mastermind behind the German army’s recent technological leap.
The Wall
The heart of Deathshead’s operation lies inside an old medieval castle on the Baltic coast of Germany, close to the Polish border. Deathshead has been working on modernizing and expanding the castle.
Control room
The control mechanism for raising the old castle gate, which is a traditional medieval portcullis, is located in a part of the castle that is difficult to reach. This is a part of the reason why Deathshead has ordered for the expansion and modernization of the compound.
Old corridor
The castle was built in Prussia by the Teutonic Knights. It was completed in the beginning of the 15th century and used as a fortress for the crusaders before they lost control to King Casimir IV Jagiellon at the end of the 15th century. The castle was also briefly occupied by Swedish forces during the Thirty Year’s War.
Crashed plane
A military transport prototype. This type of aircraft can carry up to 30 troops. For the assault on Baker Shore, the desperate allied forces have deployed almost all their remaining military transport aircraft.
Incinerator room
Deathshead’s laboratory is located deep inside the compound. This is the place where the dreaded General performs his most terrifying experiments. It is fully equipped with automated incineration and clean-up systems which easily remove any tissue, organs, blood or other bodily fluids left by the test subjects.
Asylum interior
The Zaklad Psychiatryczny Malaweiś is a Polish asylum stablished by Dr. Franciszek Oliwa in 1824. It has been run by the Oliwa family for three generations. T the end of WWII, administrative control of the asylum fell under Nazi authority. The current superintendent, Dr. Krsyztof Oliwa, can only helplessly watch as the notorious General Deathshead’s men come to claim the asylum patients for the General’s own dark devotions.
Asylum exterior
The Oliwa asylum is situated close to the Baltic coast, not far from Deathshead’s compound. The serene rural surroundings make it a perfect retreat for patients with mental afflictions. There’s a narrow trail leading from the asylum down to a short strip of beach, perfect the occasional summer outings.
Basement
Anya’s grandparents, Roman and Olenka Targonski, lead a secluded mountain life together in a small farmhouse north of Malawieś, close to the German border. During the war, they took in a Jewish family and gave them shelter. To hide them from the Nazi death patrols, Roman dug a hole in the basement and kept them hidden beneath the floorboards. The family stayed for two weeks before moving on up north.
The Oder Bridge
After the war, work started on building a fast railway connection between Warsaw and Berlin for transporting equipment and labor resources to the newly discovered limestone quarries in the eastern part of Poland. The Oder Bridge was built where the railway crosses the Oder rider, which used to form the border between Germany and Poland. It was one of the first bridges built using super-concrete.
Train to Berlin
The Eisenpfeil is a luxurious passenger train service travelling from the bustling capital of Eastern Europe, Warsaw, through the heart of the German empire, Berlin, to Zagreb in Annexed Croatia. Built in 1953, it is the fastest train in Europe, capable of reaching speeds up to 200km/h. Its fine dining restaurant car has been continually listed in the Berlin Food Guide since it was established.
Secret Police Headquarters
To facilitate a society that adheres to the principles of the Nazi ideology, the Secret Police of Berlin is an essential part of everyday life in Berlin. Their presence is at once omnipresent and invisible. The citizens of Berlin know that their every move is being watched and, having been indoctrinated for over a decade that it is for their own good, most of them are perfectly fine with this. The Secret Police Headquarters is located just a few blocks from the Volkshalle of Berlin.
The Coal Loader Room
Coal is one of several energy sources used to power the massive Eisenwald Prison. Tons of coal are transported each day into the coal loader room via the expanse, newly built Berlin underground system. No one dares to protest against the black smoke pumping out of the facility and polluting the surrounding neighborhood.
Eisenwald Prison
As the most notorious prison in Berlin, Eisenwald holds not only hardcore criminals, but also the more subversive elements that still exist in the city. According to the authorities, there was never been a successful escape attempt since its opening in 1949.
Zellenblock B
The B block is where the Nazis incarcerate political prisoners and resistance fighters. The block has been outfitted with special torture chambers where the Secret Police regularly interrogate the prisoners.
Kreisau exterior
The Monuments of Truth were commissioned by Adolf Hitler to celebrate, on his own words, “the spirit of the people which led this great nation to victory”. An annual parade is held each fall which crosses the bridge that was built between the two statues of the monument. The parade street continues all the way up to the entrance of the Volkshalle.
Kreisau interior
During the last decade, the Kreisau circle has managed to stay hidden inside the Monuments of Truth, in the center of Berlin. It was a bold mode by Caroline, the leader of the circle, but one that sems to have paid off. Inside the monument the circle members can reach numerous access routes to the Berlin underground. They also hooked up surveillance devices to the Nazi communication lines to gain valuable classified information.
London Nautica
London was one of the last of the big cities to fall. After relentless fighting, the people of London were beaten into submission. The Nazis leveled much of the central area of the city, poured asphalt over it and erected a monumental building in its place: the London Nautica. The Nautica was created for advanced research in aviation and robotics technology. It is one of the most well-guarded buildings in Germania.
Moon dome
The moon dome was built to showcase the Nazi’s expansion into space. It has a topographically correct replica of the moon spinning in the middle, and on the surface of the moon is a miniature model of the Nazi lunar base.
Da’at Yichud Artifact
A Da’at Yichud Artifact found in the London Nautica laboratory for reverse engineering.
The Da’at Yichud laboratory
Hidden away on the upper levels of the London Nautica, the Da’at Yichud laboratory is the Nazi’s best kept secret. It’s a vault for safe-keeping ancient mystic parchments, as well a lab for designing and testing new prototypes of incredibly advanced technology.
Hangar entrance
There is a secret gate hidden in the River Spree wall near the city center. A tunnel leads from the gate to the Kreisau Circle’s hangar beneath the Monuments of Truth. The tunnel is the remnant of an old construction project that was abandoned and forgotten. During the night, the Kreisau Circle uses this gate to transport large objects and vehicles into their hideout.
The Kreisau hangar
The hangar beneath Kreisau HQ is a section of a wastewater treatment plant which was abandoned before construction work was finished. Now its used by the Kreisau Circle for storing stolen cargo, vehicles and other large objects the Kreisau Circle needs to store away somewhere safe.
Camp Belica
Near the end of the war, Frau Engel assumed command of forced labor camp Belica, a dark place where she runs the day to day operations with an iron fist.
The sewers
The old sewers tunnel beneath Berlin have been neglected for years. The Kreisau circle use it to gain access to different parts of the city.
Waterwheel
Broken down and derelict machinery like this water pumping system is not unusual in these parts of the Berlin sewers.
Torpedo room
One of the key elements in the Nazis naval warfare was the deployment of highly advanced U-boats. Equipped with torpedoes that could destroy even the biggest allied ships in one hit, they quickly took control of the seas, and, eventually, the world.
U-boat
By reverse engineering the inventions found in one of Da’at Yichud secret depositories, the Nazis were able to harness the power of nuclear energy. At first, they used this knowledge to create the atom bomb which destroyed New York. Then they started using it for other technological advancements, such as the creation of nuclear powered U-boats.
Da’at Yichud chamber
Having managed to stay hidden from the outside world for centuries, the Da’at Yichud underwater stashes contain an incredible wealth of technology almost alien to the rest of humanity.
Gibraltar Bridge
The Gibraltar Bridge was constructed in 1957. Its purpose was to create a shortcut for the supply of military personnel and vehicles heading for the southern African front.
Bridge Close-up
The bridge is mostly used by military traffic, but a few members of the upper echelons of Nazi society cross the bridge every year for vacations or business trips.
Lunar base
The lunar base was first built in 1956. It is located in an ancient impact crater known as The Glimmer Bowl
Lunar base
An ever evolving complex populated by military personnel, miners, industrial workers and scientists, the lunar base is projected to have reached the size of a small city within four years.
Hangar bay
There have been surprisingly few accidents since the lunar base project was initiated. Last years hangar bay shuttle crash, claiming 14 lives, increased the total death count to 69. Compared to the thousands of people who died during the construction of Gibraltar Bridge, this is a relatively small number.
Decontamination block D-7
The lunar base is the testing site for advanced technological research. Because of the sensitive materials involved in this research, the automated decontamination blocks are used for cleaning up and preparing new test subjects.
Shuttle Crash
The London Nautica is the space hub of the world. Passenger flights leave for the moon twice every month. To access the space flight, passengers travel in a several stories tall glass elevator that goes up along the east wall of the Nautica all the way to the top. VIP passengers are served champagne and caviar before stepping into the elevator.
Snowy London
For the many poor people of Nazi-occupied London, winder is a grueling, dangerous time. The lower-class “quarantine blocks” lack both electricity and running water, which leader to poor hygiene among the block dwellers ant the spreading of highly infectious and deadly diseases.
Deathshead’s compound
When the war was over Deathshead was able to finish the construction of his compound in peace. This is the central nervous system of the Nazi war machine, a vast complex built for the sole purpose of realizing Deathshead’s perverted technological dreams.
Wolfenstein: The Old Blood[]
Paderborn Bridge

Military checkpoint
Many civilians living in the area have fallen victim to the overzealous officers stationed at Castle Wolfenstein’s checkpoints. If you approach them too fast, if your papers are not in order, or if you simply look suspicious to the guards, you might end up either dead or thrown into the dungeons of the castle, depending on their mood of the day.
Castle Wolfenstein

Castle Wolfenstein’s former anatomical theater has been repurposed as an interrogation chamber where the Nazis perform their “enhanced interrogation techniques.”
Electrocution
The electric chair in the anatomical theater is used by Rudi Jäger to bath torture and execute prisoners.
Cable car infiltration
The cable cars are the only means by which to enter Castle Wolfenstein, making it extremely difficult for hostile forces to storm the castle.
Caverns

Wulfburg thrives on its fishing industry, the neighboring villages, however, have not been as fortunate. Vicious rumors attribute the Wulfburg fishmen’s unnatural success to the worshipping of some pagan underwater deity.
Pump house
The pump house by the Wulfburg docks was built in 1822, but it burned down in 1853 due to an unfortunate smelting accident. It was rebuilt the next year burned down again in 1884 when a worker dropped a lantern during routine maintenance.
