DFDS the HO are obliged to issue you another travel documents as they are contracting party to the 1951 convention.

Article 28 states that they are supposed to issue you this document, wich would allow you to travel back to Germany. Have you contacted the HO.

That assumes that the document to which the OP refers was a refugee document.
The blue United Nations "Laissez-Passer" was/is issued to UN officials and effectively allows them to travel with diplomatic status. If the OP travelled here on UN business, and stayed on afterwards, he lost the 'exempt' status conferred by the document, and is, as the title of this thread suggests, nothing more than an overstayer - so he can take his chances like all the rest of them.

Of course, I may be wrong, and the document referred to confers some sort of refugee status. But then he is liable to be returned to whichever country granted him refugee status.

Further clarification required from the OP, I think.
