After exploring similarities and dissimilarities between microhistory and oral history, the article addresses different narrative levels in stories taken from the oral history project MenschenLeben (ego-documents, social entities and networks, narrations on politics, nation and nationalities, view on the world and philosophical statements). The second part deals with questions related to the secondary analysis of qualitative data and refers to four key concepts in this process: the integration of meta-data, the options and limits of follow- up-interviews, interpretation and scientific validity, and the consent of interviewees.
