Around 1700, the Kirr had three owners, the Amt of Barth (331.6 hectares), the town of Barth (219 hectares) and the Horn family from Divitz (20 hectares).
The island was managed by a farmstead and was mainly used by several tenants who grazed cattle and raised crops.
They were also allowed to fish around the island.
Today the Kirr is still used for cattle pasture.
In order to get the cows to their grazing fields there is a cattle ferry to the island from the village of Müggenburg.
