A detailed abundance analysis of four giants in the metal-rich bulge globular cluster NGC 6553 is carried out, based on optical high resolution échelle spectra obtained with UVES at the ESO VLT-UT2 Kueyen telescope. A mean radial heliocentric velocity of −1.86 km s−1 is found. Stellar parameters are derived from spectroscopic data based on Fe I and Fe II lines. Enhanced abundance ratios for the α-elements Mg and Si with respect to Ca and Ti are obtained. The odd-Z elements are typically solar. A solar value for the r-process element Eu ([Eu/Fe] = +0.05 ±0.06) was also found.
