Fully continuous process for the production of branched organopolysiloxanes, wherein - in a first step in a column as first reaction unit at least one chlorosilane is continuously reacted with alcohol to give a polyorganosilane mixture of low degree of condensation (= silicone resin intermediate), wherein the reaction takes place a) with alcohol and water, or b) with alcohol, water and at least one further chlorosilane, which differs from the first chlorosilane as follows: - it is less volatile, thus has a higher boiling point and - can moreover have a lower reactivity, and c) 0.1 to 2.0 moles alcohol are used per mole of hydrolyzable chlorine, and d) the alcohol contains at most 5 wt.% water, and - in a second step the silicone resin intermediate from the first step is transferred into a continuous loop reactor, or a stirred batch reactor with continuous input and output or a continuously connected stirring device cascade as the second reaction unit, and there a reaction takes place a) with alcohol and water and in the presence of catalytic traces of hydrogen chloride, or b) with alcohol and water and in the presence of catalytic traces of hydrogen chloride and with addition of further alkoxy- and/or hydroxy-functionalized organopolysiloxanes or alkoxy- and/or hydroxy-functionalized silanes, takes place to give the end product, a branched organopolysiloxane with the desired degree of condensation, with the proviso that during the whole process apart from the alcohol used no other solvent is used, wherein this alcohol can consist of only one type of alcohol or of a mixture of at least two different alcohols. - in a first step in a column as first reaction unit at least one chlorosilane is continuously reacted with alcohol to give a polyorganosilane mixture of low degree of condensation (= silicone resin intermediate), wherein the reaction takes place a) with alcohol and water, or b) with alcohol, water and at least one further chlorosilane, which differs from the first chlorosilane as follows: - it is less volatile, thus has a higher boiling point and - can moreover have a lower reactivity, and c) 0.1 to 2.0 moles alcohol are used per mole of hydrolyzable chlorine, and d) the alcohol contains at most 5 wt.% water, and a) with alcohol and water, or b) with alcohol, water and at least one further chlorosilane, which differs from the first chlorosilane as follows: - it is less volatile, thus has a higher boiling point and - can moreover have a lower reactivity, and - it is less volatile, thus has a higher boiling point and - can moreover have a lower reactivity, and c) 0.1 to 2.0 moles alcohol are used per mole of hydrolyzable chlorine, and d) the alcohol contains at most 5 wt.% water, and - in a second step the silicone resin intermediate from the first step is transferred into a continuous loop reactor, or a stirred batch reactor with continuous input and output or a continuously connected stirring device cascade as the second reaction unit, and there a reaction takes place a) with alcohol and water and in the presence of catalytic traces of hydrogen chloride, or b) with alcohol and water and in the presence of catalytic traces of hydrogen chloride and with addition of further alkoxy- and/or hydroxy-functionalized organopolysiloxanes or alkoxy- and/or hydroxy-functionalized silanes, takes place to give the end product, a branched organopolysiloxane with the desired degree of condensation, with the proviso that during the whole process apart from the alcohol used no other solvent is used, wherein this alcohol can consist of only one type of alcohol or of a mixture of at least two different alcohols. a) with alcohol and water and in the presence of catalytic traces of hydrogen chloride, or b) with alcohol and water and in the presence of catalytic traces of hydrogen chloride and with addition of further alkoxy- and/or hydroxy-functionalized organopolysiloxanes or alkoxy- and/or hydroxy-functionalized silanes,
