Leaving (and reentering) Schengen area with document of other country as a EU national?
I am a EU national of country A, currently residing in Germany, and also a citizen of non-Schengen country B. Nationals of country B are issued a 90 day tourist visa upon entry to the Schengen area (no need to obtain a visa in the country of origin).
Unfortunately I have lost my passport of country A and have a flight to country B scheduled a week from now. I have filed for a replacement at country A's embassy; however, because of some negligence on my part, there is some amount of red tape involved before it can be issued and mailed to me---hopefully to arrive prior to my trip. Since I am a resident here in Germany, the embassy would not issue an emergency document; at least I was not offered such an opportunity even after explaining my situation.
This question is about the hypothetical case in which the document does not arrive in time. Can I leave the Schengen area (i.e., Germany) using my document of country B? I am afraid border control will hamper me due to a missing visa.
Provided I can leave, can I reenter the Schengen area using my document of country B? I suppose I cannot be denied entry since I am a EU national, after all?
I also happen to have a valid ID of country A which is not a passport as well as a photocopy of my lost document (but I suppose neither will be of help at the border).
