They earned their first honours three years later by defeating SV Werder Bremen to capture the district cup.

Rot-Weiß appeared in the fourth tier Verbandsliga Bremen for two seasons from 1975 to 1977 and the following year re-adopted the name Komet.

The club was renamed Turn- und Sportverein Arsten in 1952 and the following year became part of the Amateurliga Bremen (II) where they would compete as a lower table side until being sent down in 1957.
