  A sample of subdwarfs with accurate space velocities and standarized
metallicities is presented. This was constructed by combining Hipparcos
parallaxes ond proper motions with radial velocities and metallicities from
Carney et al. (1994; CLLA). The accurate Hipparcos parallaxes lead to an -
upward - correction factor of 11% of the photometric distance scale of CLLA.
The kinematical behaviour of the subdwarfs is discussed in particular in
relation to their metallicities. Most of the stars turn out to be thick disk
stars, but the sample contains also many genuine halo stars. While the extreme
metal poor halo does not rotate, a population of subdwarfs with metallicities
in the range -1.6 < [Fe/H] < -1.0 dex appears to rotate around the galactic
center with a mean rotation speed of about 100 km/s.
