Oscillatory Doppler shifts in sunspots and in small fluxtubes are observed using either the intensity profile of lines with negligible magnetic splitting or the circular Zeeman profile (Stokes-V inversion point) of lines with strong Zeeman splitting. Sunspot umbrae show local 5 min oscillations of reduced amplitude as compared to the neighboring photosphere. Occasionally 5 min oscillations of opposite phase at both outer penubral borders are found. This could be interpreted as tilting and bobbing of the spot as a whole on the oscillating solar surface. In contrast to these larger scale sunspot fluxtubes the gas in the small fluxtubes of a few hundred km diameter seems to fully participate in the photospheric oscillations without any interaction with the magnetic field. Prominence magnetic fields show sometimes a reaction to the photospheric 5 min and to the chromospheric 3 min oscillations; in addition several other periods are found. Indications for eigenmodes of Alfven waves are found.
