Can I travel within Schengen after my visa has been stolen?

This can really depend on luck. You are, as a non-EU and non-Schengen citizen, expected to have your passport and proof of residency permit in the same country as you at all times. Whether this is checked could depend on multiple factors: the transit company (train, airline, ...) may want to check, although unlikely, border controls may be temporarily set up again (although I'm unaware of any such controls between Sweden and Germany at the moment, but I don't actively keep up to date on this), or you may just have any other by-chance encounter with authorities where they want to check this.

Put briefly: the few times I've accidentally exited a country without passport or visa in the Schengen area, I've never had a problem. But this should be avoided whenever possible because this luck is not guaranteed.

I would recommend getting in contact with the foreign registration office (AuslΓ€nderbehΓΆrde) in your city and asking them what you can do.
