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

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