Where can I find the spring loaded belt tensioner on the 1996 mercedes benz c220?

I am trying to replace the serpentine belt. However I can not find the tensioning device.
 
If you're looking from the front of the engine then you'll see a large pulley on the upper right side of the engine that will be your power steering pump. Just below that and to the left a little is your tensioner. Just use caution not to get your hand wedged inbetween when you let the pulley back after the belt is off.
 
Like this one?

It will have a pulley attached to it. Be careful taking the tension off. If you slip it will snap back at you like nobody's business.
