In 1944 he left Strasbourg before the American troops invaded and returned to the Reich. Here Süssenguth continued his career as artistic director at the Bavarian Artists' Games in Fürth after the end of the war . In the 1947/49 seasons he worked as an actor at the Württemberg State Theater in Stuttgart, and in the following season at the Hamburger Kammerspiele . In 1950 Süssenguth was hired as an actor and director by the Comedy Basel .
