It was immediately promoted again, and Korn was then able to spend six more seasons in the I. GDR League. During this time he was able to maintain his regular place in the team with 155 appearances in 176 league games and continued to be a successful goalscorer. In 1966/67 he scored eleven goals and was the top scorer of his team. 1968 Motor Bautzen had to relegate again, now in the third-class district league Dresden (the 2nd GDR league had been discontinued). This time it was not until 1974 before Motor Bautzen returned to the GDR league. With four or two league appearances, Korn helped out in two seasons, after which, after the 1975/76 season, he ended his career as a competitive footballer at the age of 36. For Motor Bautzen he had played 209 games and scored 46 goals in eleven GDR league seasons. Later he got involved with BSG Motor and with the successor FSV Budissa Bautzen.
