The Kreuzkirche is the only building that still exists, the rest of the market was leveled in WW2. I think the church was rebuild on the foundations, so basically nothing in this painting can be seen today.
The church that has been set on fire (but not destroyed) in WW2 wasn't exactly the one on the painting either, as that one was destroyed during the Seven Years' War.
This is interesting, I genuinely want to know more about it. If you can point me to more of its history I am grateful.
Sorry, I don't have more information than you can find in the Wikipedia articles.
Thanks anyway.
