After the war ended in 1945 he left the destroyed capital and moved to Hamburg. Here Joachim Matthes founded the film company Camera-Filmproduktion GmbH Hamburg in 1946, of which he was also managing director. The first films were made in close collaboration with the renowned director Helmut Käutner and his former assistant director Rudolf Jugert ( In those days , film without a title , The apple is off , Hallo Fräulein! ). Matthes also contributed to the script for Jugert's production of marriage tables .
