In 1927 Dom achieved a double victory in the Feldberg race on his standard factory machines (500 and 1000 cm³) , which was held between Oberursel and Sandplacken in Taunus .
In the same year he also achieved a double victory (350 and 500 cm³) at the Marburg hill climb. The Schleiz race won Dom 1927 (350 cc) and 1928 (500 cc).

In 1930 Arthur Dom crowned his career with the German championship in the 350 cm³ class. He was only allowed to enjoy this success for six months, however, because in 1931 competitor Arthur Hiller protested against Dom's victory in Schotten in 1930 , which was decided in favor of Hiller.
