Proper motions of globular clusters referred to extragalactic background objects provide absolute proper motions leading to space velocities. Some results from the Bonn Observatory proper motion program for galactic globular clusters are shown. Reference stars from the Lick program linked to galaxies are used. Low orbital angular momenta for NGC 4147, NGC 5466 and NGC 6218 were detected. In a further program, proper motions of 47 Tuc and NGC 362 are currently being measured relative to the background of the SMC.
