  Aims. In this paper the optical data of the ESO Deep-Public-Survey observed
with the Wide Field Imager and reduced with the THELI pipeline are described.
Methods. Here we present 63 fully reduced and stacked images. The astrometric
and photometric calibrations are discussed and the properties of the images are
compared to images released by the ESO Imaging Survey team covering a subset of
our data. Results. These images are publicly released to the community. Our
main scientific goals with this survey are to study the high-redshift universe
by optically pre-selecting high-redshift objects from imaging data and to use
VLT instruments for follow-up spectroscopy as well as weak lensing
applications.
