No need to carry, but being hold for hours by police for identity
verification isn't much fun either.

Being held by police doesn't make it any easier to go and get the
passport from the drawer at home, either.

No problem. If you say them your ID is at home, they will taxi you home! ;-)
A while ago, i saw a TV report about traffic controls. One of the
drivers weren't able to provide an ID. So police asked for his personal
data and checked these with the Einwohnermeldeamt. Furthermore they
called his fazher/mother and asked for a description1 :-)
