For the 1982/83 season he moved to Arminia Bielefeld . In the following years, Arminia reached eighth place twice in a row, their best position in the 1st Bundesliga. Towards the end of his third season at Arminia, Rautiainen achieved a personal record with eight goals this season; three goals were missing to stay in the league; the immediate resurgence was narrowly missed.
