We present a first K-s-band identification and proper motions of the IRS13N members, the high-velocity dusty S-cluster object (DSO, also referred to as G2), and other infrared excess sources in the central field. Goal is to constrain the nature of these source. We show that within the uncertainties, the positions and proper motions of the IRS13N sources in K-s- and L'-band are identical. The HK- sL' colors then indicate that the bright L'-band IRS13N sources are indeed dust-enshrouded stars rather than core-less dust clouds. The proper motions also show that the IRS13N sources are not strongly gravitationally bound to each other. Combined with their NIR colors, this implies that they have been formed recently. For the DSO we obtain proper motions and a K-s-L'-color.
