The object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for the preparation of amino-functional polyorganosiloxanes, in which (A) organosiloxanes containing Si—OH groups are reacted with (B) at least stoichiometric amounts of monoalkoxy(aminoalkyl) silanes with respect to the Si—OH groups, wherein catalytically active additives selected from acid, base or metal-organic compound are used in amounts of less than 0.1 ppm acid, less than 30 ppm base and less than 0.4% metal-organic compound.
