These are the caretakers of German wargraves, and have huge databanks that one can search.
If the object in you care carries a name, it will most probably not be an Erkennungsmarke - i.e. dog tag - since these normally (and legally) only carried the soldier serialnumber, the blood type (capital letter) and the name of his unit. The tag had oval shape and was made of cheaper metal (zink, often) and only the lower half was taken from the body of a fallen soldier. It would have the unit name on top, with a serialnumber under it (normally 4 digit) and then bloodgroup right of the number.
My suggestion being - if it is not an Erkennungsmarke/dog tag, maybe Zimmerman ("Lumberjack" - a fairly common name here) didn't die? If not, he will be all that more easily found, and so will his next of kin and other family.
The number is really the key to feasibly finding his family on your own. Do you read German? Have access to German national archives?

When was the unknown soldier born?
For an unknown soldier's birthday to be known, his identity would have to be known, and he would therefore not be an unknown soldier, but you should have figured that out when you asked the question. If you mean the original Unknown Soldier from World War 1, it is reasonable to assume that he was born in the 1890's. If he had been born in the 1900's he would probably have been too young to fight, assuming he did not falsify his age.
