  This paper proves error estimates for $H^2$ conforming finite elements for
equations which model the flow of surfaces by different powers of the mean
curvature (this includes mean curvature flow). for an adapted scheme originally
proposed in [17] for the inverse mean curvature flow. The scheme is based on a
known regularization procedure and produces different kinds of errors, a
regularization error, a finite element discretization error for the regularized
problems and a full error. While in the literature and own previous work
different aspects of the aforementioned error types are treated, here, we
solely and for the first time focus on the finite element discretization error
in the $W^{2,\mu}$ norm for the regularized equation analyzing also the
dependencies from the regularization parameter.
