Abstract: | The noteworthy deviations and differences given in the individual values of the metal abundance of open clusters were studied. It could be shown that the metal abundance of open clusters, which are situated in or near the galactic plane (|z| ≦ 0.3 Kpc) are not only correlated wiht the galactocentric distance (RGC ) but also with the galactic longitude l of the clusters. This correlation is not given in the open clusters of high |z|-distances. There, the metal abundance is connected as well with the galactocentric radius (RGC ) as with the distances of the objects form the galactic plane. |
