    To put it simply, in means to go to a certain building, auf means to go to the top of a certain flat land, and zu means to go to a certain place there, not necessarily inside or outside, so it is often translated as "xx there".

    In the first sentence, the Kaufhaus store is a building with a spatial concept, so entering the store is INS Kaufhaus Gehen.

    The second sentence is that the current market is not open-air, but has been built into a building with walls and roofs, so when you go to the market, you use in den market gehen.

    In the third sentence, the market used to be open-air, and people set up stalls on a flat field, so people are actually still used to using the preposition auf. Including going to the post office, we are still used to saying auf die post gehen, although the post office is now built into houses. And when you go to the countryside, we say aufs land fahren, because the countryside is a large expanse of vast land, so we use auf.

    In the fourth sentence, when going to the market, it is not necessarily going into the market, or outside the market, or around the market, we can use zu.

    Do you understand? I hope mine has made you a little clearer about these prepositions.

    In mainly means to go inside.

    AUF is on the surface, the previous market was open-air, not wanting the current one, so generally with Man Geht Auf den Market

    zu means one direction, go in that direction, may go in, may not go in.

    The German translation of dasseinzumtode is seinzumtode. Das Sein Zum Tode, from the German philosopher Heidegger's masterpiece Being and Time, translates as life to death. Perhaps what he meant was that life is an existence that goes to death, and until death, human beings have to endure such a fate or existence.
