Glanerbrug [ɣlaːnər'brʏx] is a town in the east of the city of Enschede, Netherlands. It is close to the border, formed by the stream Glanerbeek, with Germany and the city of Gronau, North Rhine-Westphalia. The name of Glanerbrug is derived from the bridge over the Glanerbeek (brug in Dutch is bridge in English).

On 7 April 1990 the Glanerbrug meteorite fell through the roof of a house there.[3] Further information: Meteorite fall § Others.
