Who will comp me?
 

I will be LH FTL very soon and I was wondering if any other airline would comp me?
(All 35000 status miles in less than 2 month)

Tim,

This depends very much on what you're trying to do. Most airlines that comp status do it one time only, so if you choose to get comped and then don't actually fly the miles to retain the status, you don't get a second chance - you have to start from the beginning next time.

You mention that you flew 35000 miles to get LH status - why are you looking to get a comp from another airline, particularly when living in Germany where LH have by far the best route network? Do you expect this level of travel to continue? If so, in what part of the world will most of this travel be?

You will have difficulty getting comped by any of the other Star Alliance carriers that operate in the region (primarily UA, BD, OS, SK) because they usually operate an 'anti-poaching' policy, and you already have status on LH. There may be other airlines that will comp status, but this depends very much on whether you will be flying on routes that they operate.
