Glanerbrug [ɣlaːnər'brʏx] is an incorporated village 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.[2] Further information: Meteorite fall § Others.
