No other way except you must find a home if you have nobody in Germany. Please contact your university. In many universities in Germany there is usually a department which takes care of foreign students. Its name can be Akademisches Auslandsamt or other similar. This bureau can give you further information how you can find a student apartment, etc.
You can also try to contact the Indonesian embassy in Germany. Maybe they can help you giving useful information.

Immigration Documents
Entering other countries needs complete and right immigration documents. You should know the immigration rules of the respective country and you should obey them. Otherwise you will have a problem in entering this country. It may cause you pay more or the worst is: you can be deported. They send you back to your origin country. Imagine the lost you will suffer from.
Prepare your immigration documents accordingly. There are various types of visa. Students, tourists, Indonesian wives, whose husbands are Germans, will need different visa. You should consider also the visa application period: how long it will take from submitting of the documents needed for the visa application until you receive the visa in your hands. Don't let it happen: tomorrow you will fly to Germany, but until today you still don't have the visa. Then you call the German embassy and the clerk over there tells you, you may pick up your visa in the next 2 days!!
You need also to check the expiry date of your passport. If your passport will be expired in one month, maybe the embassy won't issue a visa for you. For further information, please contact the German Embassy.
As a future student at a university in Germany you must already know what documents you should bring to Germany which are required by your university and which you should submit to your university upon your arrival in Germany. Make a list and prepare everything precisely.
Don't let it happen: you are already in Germany but you forget an important document. Then you ask your family to find the document and send it to Germany. How would it be, if your family can not find the document?
In Indonesia your car can use the tires for the whole year. It can happen, that you still don't need to change the tires even they are already 5 years at your car. But in Germany you should change the tires in winter. Otherwise it will be dangerous driving a car on a thick ice with 'summer' tires. If winter is over, you can use back your 'summer' tires.
Similar with that fact, in winter you will need winter clothing. Due to your study you will stay for a long period in Germany. Therefore you should prepare everything accordingly, so that you will survive over the winter.
Many socks and gloves, some thick jackets will be all right. Good shoes from Indonesia should be OK. You see, if you can survive over the winter with those shoes, you don't need to buy additional winter shoes in Germany. If some stuffs are already provided from Indonesia, the other important things related to winter need you can provide in Germany. It would be very expensive, if you should provide all in Germany, however it is also not easy, if you would bring all from Indonesia. You can get overloaded and you should pay the charge due to overloading in the airport.
