The aircraft was designed by a designer of Swedish origin, the engineer Anders J. Anderson, who headed all design work at Bücker until 1939.
The first flight of the Bü 131 prototype (D-3150) took place on May 27, 1934 with the pilot Joachim von Köppen. The aircraft was powered by a Hirth HM 60 R inline four-cylinder engine with an output of 59 kW.
Series production of the Bü 131 A version began as early as 1934, the main customer of which was the German Air Sports Association.
In 1936, the Bü 131 B series came onto the market, which was characterized by the built-in Hirth HM 504 A-2 engine with an output of 77 kW.
