It was a single-engine, single-seat biplane constructed of wood and tubular steel and covered with fabric.
The Bü 133 was a further development of the two-seat basic trainer Bücker Bü 131 by Jungmann.
First flown in 1935 (by Luise Hoffmann, the first female works pilot in Germany), it was slightly smaller than the Bü 131.
The prototype, D-EVEO, was powered by a 140 hp (104 kW) Hirth HM506 inline 6 cylinder engine.
The aircraft showed "amazing agility" at its first public appearance, the 1936 International Aerobatic Championships in Rangsdorf, but the Bü 133A received no orders; Only two Bü 133B with 160 hp were built.
The main production type was the 160 hp (119 kW) Siemens-Bramo Sh 14A Bü 133C radial drive, which had a distinctive bonnet and a 13 cm shorter fuselage and the same good aerobatic performance as the Bü 133A
