history
Archaeological excavations (Mercury statues, wall remains and foundation walls of a villa were found) prove that Karres was already settled in Roman times. However, it is assumed that settlement already took place in the late Bronze Age (1300 - 800 BC).
Since Karres was captured by Bavaria , the place was administered by the Imst court . Towards the end of the 13th century, the community came to Petersberg.
To 1099 is "Cherres" ersturkundlich occasion of the donation of a local Hube to the cathedral chapter Augsburg called. In 1288 , "Cherres" was once again named by Count Meinhard II in the Tyrolean area . Until then, the place was administered by the St. Petersberg Court. For around 12 years, Karres appears as a municipality that had its own village master (comparable to the mayor ).
In the times of the Middle Ages mining was carried out on the Tschirgant , but this had to be stopped again in the 19th century. Proof of this are two miners' houses .
In 1810 the village came back to the Imst court, but this was reversed again in 1817. In 1849 Karres was added to the newly created judicial district of Silz , but in 1907 it was transferred to the judicial district of Imst .
