Direct peers

• Landessportbund Berlin: State-level sports federation for Berlin operating under the same DOSB framework as LSB Brandenburg. Same legal structure (e.V.), same mandate to distribute state sport promotion funds, operate a digital member portal, and run youth/elite sport programs across a contiguous geography.
• Landessportbund Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: State sports federation for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Direct peer among eastern German LSBs with the same membership-based funding model, club services portfolio, and youth talent-development programs.
• Landessportbund Thüringen: State sports federation for Thuringia. Similar statutory role as LSB, similar Sportförderung distribution mandate, member-club network, and participation in national DOSB events like Sportabzeichen and Kinder- und Jugendsportspiele.
• Landessportbund Sachsen: State sports federation for Saxony with comparable structure, distribution of public Sportförderung, member-club network, and role in talent identification for Olympic disciplines. Geographically and structurally the closest analogue among eastern German LSBs.
• Landessportbund Niedersachsen: One of the larger German Landessportbünde; comparable e.V. structure, member-service portfolio (digital portal, ESAB-equivalent education academy, Sportabzeichen), and Sportförderung role, but at materially larger scale.
• Landessportbund Nordrhein-Westfalen: Largest Landessportbund in Germany by membership. Same institutional role and service mix as LSB Brandenburg, with a far bigger member base and budget; useful as an upper-bound comparable on how a state LSB can scale.
• Landessportbund Sachsen-Anhalt: State sports federation for Saxony-Anhalt. Identical legal form (e.V.), equivalent regulatory mandate, and parallel mix of public funding, member dues, education/training, and event operations.

Others

• Sport England: UK statutory body distributing public funding and Lottery money to grassroots sport. Comparable function (public Sportförderung distribution, club support, talent pathways), but Crown entity rather than membership association and operates at a national scale.

Broad incumbents

• Bayerischer Landes-Sportverband: Bavaria's combined state sports federation and state sports association. Same institutional purpose as LSB Brandenburg (federation + member services + public Sportförderung) but covers a much larger geography, sport verband layer, and budget.
• Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund (DOSB): National umbrella organization for German sport of which LSB Brandenburg is a direct member. Coordinates nationwide programs like the Sportabzeichen, sets the Safe-Sport-Code, and aggregates state LSBs; comparable in mandate but operates across all 16 states rather than a single state.
