Surprisingly, there are no official statistics on homelessness in Germany. Any numbers you see are not from the federal government, but probably from BAGW, a charitable organization supporting the homeless.

Their estimate for 2016 is 860,000 homeless people (including approximately 440,000 homeless refugees). The number of unsheltered homeless people was estimated to be 52,000. [1]

That sounds about right for street homeless for a European nation. The UK figure in reality is probably about that as the way street homelessness is measured in the UK is set up to undercount.
