Lost my Spanish residence card (TIE) and I need to travel to Germany

Lost my Spanish residence card (TIE) and I need to travel to Germany - Frustrated female driver in white t shirt and jeans sitting on ground near damaged car with hands on head during car travel in sunny summer day

I am an Indonesian student in Spain. I had a student residence card (TIE). But someone stole my wallet, which had my residence card. I'm supposed to go to Germany and stay for 1 and a half months. I paid for the ticket to Germany with Vueling Airlines. I only have my passport and my 3-month expired visa.

So is it possible for me to travel to Germany? What kind of document can I use to prove my TIE was stolen and I am a legal resident?

Thank you.
