The quarter was created in 1971 when District 8 was divided into three parts: Seefeld, Mühlebach and Weinegg. For the most part, it has only one statistical significance: the area in the center of District 8 is usually colloquially assigned to the Seefeld district or simply referred to as Riesbach .

Eponymous for mill stream was the heart through the quarter and parallel to the shore of Lake Zurich extending Mühlebachstrasse and named after him Mühlebachstrasse .
