Bühlau's municipal area is divided into multiple parts. In the southeast is the former quarter Quohren. In the centre, at the Ullersdorfer Platz/Quohrener Strasse (lit. Ullersdorf Place/Quohren Street) is the village core located in a shallow hollow, the old Oberdorf (altes Oberdorf). With the neighbouring village of Quohren, it enjoys a common protection status because of the still existing ancient village buildings in the "preservation statute for historic village centres in the city of Dresden."[1] The residential area (villa quarter) of New Buehlau (Neubühlau) is located in the north and west.
