Hello khanan, thank you for reaching out to us. I am doing fine, thank you. I hope you are doing well too.

You can usually apply for your travel documents at you local immigration office in Berlin. You can see the requirements on their website: https://service.berlin.de/dienstleistung/325471/en/
One of the requirements is that you hand in your previous travel document. However, you should not be asked to go to the embassy if you hold refugee/asylum status.
.
There are different type of travel documents, depending on the type of residency you have received.
For example if you have received a refugee status then you should receive the blue passport from BAMF. You can find more information on the blue passport here: https://handbookgermany.de/en/blue-passport
Please note that as a recognized refugee one is not allowed to travel back to one's home country, otherwise the refugee status could be revoked.
.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. I am always happy to help
Best wishes
