The Anschluss of Austria to Nazi Germany in 1938 also brought a major change on the local level for Groß-Enzersdorf : It was absorbed into the new Greater-Vienna and gave its name to the new 22nd district '' Groß-Enzersdorf '' , which comprised many of the rural Marchfeld villages , but also some more urban zones on the left of the Danube that were already previously part of Vienna , such as Kaisermühlen . The synagogue was heavily damaged in the infamous Kristallnacht in November 1938 , and most of the Jewish population was deported during this event . The synagogue building was used as a magazine during World War II and was demolished in 1963 . During the World War , the town suffered aerial bombings during the Oil Campaign of World War II in 1944 , because of its vicinity to an oil refinery in the Lobau . Groß-Enzersdorf was conquered by Soviet Armed Forces on April 12 , 1945 . In Allied-occupied Austria the town was located in the Soviet zone , and administratively remained in the 22nd district of Vienna until 1954 , when it was re-established as a municipality within the state of Lower Austria
