Load-bearing wall ?

[Jockemedisolerkniven]

Hi, can anyone according to these drawings see if a wall is load-bearing?
It's the green-marked ones, specifically the one on the living floor, it seems to align with the wall in the basement.

If it's not possible to determine with your tips, where should one turn? Can a "regular" carpenter answer by looking at the drawing and investigating?
Regards

Green marked ? is what is under your line you mean. Which way are the trusses placed, across the green. It's a long stretch from wall to wall, and the trusses are likely on this wall.

Do you have a section drawing?

It is structural engineers who are specialists in how buildings are constructed, for example, when it comes to load-bearing walls.

Most likely, it is the load-bearing

Most likely it is load-bearing

Well, a house from '69 could very well have truss roof structures and then it's usually not any interior wall on the floor under the attic being load-bearing.

Well, a house from -69 could very well have truss roof trusses and then there is usually no interior wall on the floor below the attic that is load-bearing.

Truss roof trusses can also be dimensioned for 3 supports.

Hmm, unfortunately, I only have these drawings. I've checked with the municipality but they only have these... Unfortunately. Went up and took some quick photos. What kind of trusses are these?

 

[BirgitS]

It looks like truss rafters (W).

Considering that the wall only runs through half of the house (and does not appear to have been removed from the rest, but was built that way from the beginning), there is a possibility that it is not load-bearing.

Hello again! I've made some progress here, ripped off the plasterboard from the wall, and encountered 70x50 studs with the rafters positioned as shown in the pictures. The part against the wall makes me think they might have had a plan after all, but have missed the rafter by a few cm.

What does it look like where the truss stands on the wall?

 

[Jockemedisolerkniven]

The joint on the roof truss is about 20 cm from this wall... can provide a picture tomorrow!

No one who has any ideas on how to check this?
Between the bedrooms (drawing) there are "only" closets as a wall, tore a little there to see if there was anything supporting there. There wasn't. So then this wall should be fine to take down too!?

These are structural engineers who specialize in such questions.

Interesting to see how it looks up by the ceiling. Does it fit or do the planks and beams end in the air?
