What is the possiblity of getting rabies bitten by a street dog in Berlin?

What is the possiblity of getting rabies bitten by a street dog in Berlin. By street dog I mean the dog of a homeless person. Is there a high chance of rabies from that. I must say that I didn't provoke the dog. I don't know what provoked it, it came all of a sudden from behind barked for 3-4sec and bit me. I know Germany is rabies free. But I assume since it is a street dog. I am not sure if the vaccines were provided to the dog. In such a case what should I do. The doctor who I contacted said Germany is rabies free and refused to give me anti rabies vaccine. What should I do in such a case , I am unable to find another doctor, and I am not sure how do I go about finding another doctor here. I am very new to the place and language is huge problem.
