Explanation:
You are looking for a person. Well, Sig or Sigi is the nickname for any of the above.
Schlager is a surname. And there are so many Schlagers in Germany that you can't call up a list of all of them. You have to specify the city or area.

I found 16 in Berlin, 17 in Munich, etc., but no Siegfried, etc.

Have a go yourself at the link quoted below. It's all in german and you might find it difficult. If you can tell us where your friend lives we should be able to help you.

hit song


Explanation:
Hi,
'Schlager', in German, means 'hit' as in 'hit song', a song that's made the charts.... is Sig a musician?
It might also be that 'Sig' is an abbreviation for a first name like 'Siegfried'.
