The high burst strengths and star formation efficiencies found with spectrophotmetric and chemical evolutionary synthesis for mergers of gas-rich spirals led us to expect the formation of a secondary population of globular clusters (GC) with enhanced metallicity (F. – v. A. & Gerhard 1994, A&A 285, 751 u.775). HST imaging of NGC 7252, NGC 4038/39 and NGC 1275 revealed rich populations of bright young star clusters (YSC).
