Since the years 2014/15, there has been a decisive and continuous rise in civil society’s commitment for asylum seekers and refugees in Germany. Some studies were conducted on the demographic structure of volunteers, the fields of commitment and on motivations; furthermore, integration policies take into account these civil societies activities on different levels of politics. But up to now there is no link to ethical theories. This paper argues that empirical research on normative attitudes in refugee solidarity might lead to complementary insights concerning migration ethics. I ask if we can conceive refugee solidarity as "ethics from below".
