Status matching is an American concept. You can contact DL to match your LH HON status. I am not sure about other airlines.

OTOH, since you fly mostly premium fares, as evidenced by LH HON, you should look into AF/KL FlyingBlue. I consider FlyingBlue a superior program for premium fare flyers. You don't really need status if you are on paid F/C fares anyway.
