Maps and Drawings of Hogan's Heroes' Stalag 13

These drawings, maps, and notes were made after many, many hours of viewing the entire series, perhaps six or seven times all the way through. Change after change was made to make them as accurate as possible. Plus, as many already know, filming on a television set is an inaccurate endeavor from the outset. During the show, changes are occasionally even evident in a particular set during the course of the same episode.

Therefore, although these drawings are indeed accurate, they may not be perfect, and are not meant to conform to some actual standard. For example, furniture placement in some of the drawings represents nominal positioning as items were moving around all the time. However, corrections are welcome.

  • Barracks #2
    This is the main hut, where the heroes live. Although the total number of bunks varies over the course of the show, the nominal number of ten supports enough room for twenty airmen, and roll call indeed varies between fifteen and twenty men. Also, besides the main door, there's a back door that's used from time to time, so I show it. And finally, sometimes lockers are shown to the left of the main door instead of the sink and periscope. I do not show them here as they are much less interesting.
  • Klink's Headquarters
    The HQ as drawn here comprises office revision 1.3 and quarters revision 4.1. These two iterations fit well within the constraints of the headquarters building from an exterior point of view as shown in the episodes. The others do not fit well, or at all.
  • Map of Camp 13
    Here's a map of the major portions of the camp. Several additional buildings are shown occasionally that run beyond the borders of the map offered here, but 99% of all that is ever seen is included here.
  • Notes 1
    General notes.
  • Notes 2
    Notes continued, and details of office and quarters revisions as shown in all 168 episodes.
  • Misc Signs
    Miscellaneous signs from all over camp.
  • Verboten Sign and Escape Warning
    Signs plastered all over camp.

    Else:

  • Klink's Office v1
    This is used for the majority of Season One, 21 episodes total.
  • Klink's Office v1.1
    Only very slightly modifed from the original configuration, this is used for the balance of Season One, eleven episodes. Klink's desk moves over to the right side of his office, and the third window (right wall) has been removed.
  • Klink's Office v1.2
    Used for all of Season Two (and two episodes of Season Three which were filmed as part of second season, but aired later), this configuration is again only very slightly modified from the previous version: the closet alcove is reduced in its depth, thus giving more separation between the main and closet doors.
  • Klink's Office v1.3
    The is the main configuration used for the bulk of the show, 104 episodes total. The main and closet doors are separated yet further, the office is larger overall, and the ninety degree corner between the near and right walls is modified to a 45° angle. In Hilda's office, the fourth door is removed, and her furniture is turned 90° counterclockwise, thus placing her back to the left wall instead of the far wall.

  • Klink's Quarters v1 & v2
    Version 1 was used once, in episode #8, "Movies Are Your Best Escape," and version 2 in two episodes, #19, "Hello Zolle," and #26, "The Prince From the Phone Company." These are both completely different from each other.
  • Klink's Quarters v3 & v3.1
    These were each used once, in #29, "The Assassin," and #30, "Cupid Comes To Stalag 13," respectively. Again, these are completey different than the preceeding versions. Version 3.1 represents a slight change from v3 in that a kitchen was added at the door in the far wall, and it utilizes the main door in the entry vestibule.
  • Klink's Quarters v4
    This is the beginning of the larger, more standardized quarters configurations. This one was used in five episodes during Season Two.
  • Klink's Quarters v4.1
    Here's the second most used configuration, used in fourteen episodes. This version best fits the external constraints of the HQ building. The breezeway and adjoining room were dropped from v4.
  • Klink's Quarters v5
    Version 5 was used in thirty episodes and is the really the best of the bunch. Many major elements were carried over from v4.1 like the living room, access hallway, kitchen, and bedroom, but has a new entry vestibule and larger dining area. Because of the changes, this configuration doesn't come close to being able to fit within the HQ building as seen in the show.
  • Klink's Quarters v5.1
    This set was used nine times before they reverted back to v5 for the balance of the show. It sports a second door at the back wall for Klink's bedroom, which clutters up the overall appearance. The right door along the back wall is presumably for the kitchen, but this is never shown in any of the episodes, and therefore it's impossible to properly render this version. They simply don't show enough of it, and therefore it's not offered here as a drawing—it's impossible to know what it really looks like.
