description This paper presents an ethical and methodological reflection of a ten-year lasting biographical research with young people from foster care in Germany. For this purpose, the paper gives an introduction into pedagogical biographical research, which is established in Germany, but rather unknown in other countries, and introduces the reader into the German-speaking discussion on research ethics in German educational science. Furthermore, the author presents her research context and hitherto research projects. On this background, she reflects her experiences with biographical research with young people from foster care. In several steps, methodological and ethical question are discussed on gaining interviewees, conducting interviews, analysis and presentation of results. Throughout the paper it is obvious that biographical research is very productive in producing relevant research results, but at the same time complex and challenging for the researcher. At the end of the paper, ideas are presented on how structures could be created that support the researchers in this challenging task.
