Scientific paper

We present Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions for four ellipticals and one S0-Galaxy in the Fornax cluster of galaxies, derived from CCD photometry in V and I. The averaged turnover magnitudes are $V_{TO} = 23.80 \pm 0.06$ and $I_{TO} =22.39 \pm 0.05$, respectively. We derive a relative distance modulus $(m-M)_{Fornax} - (m-M)_{M87} = 0.08 \pm 0.09$ mag using the turnover of M87 based on HST data.
