Bearing or not?

[fredj721]

Hello,
I'm considering tearing down the wall marked in red, and then building a new wall at 90 degrees to eliminate the U-shape of the laundry room and simultaneously create a larger WC. The wall is made of lightweight concrete (10 cm), and I find it hard to imagine that it is load-bearing. The joists are built with 220x45 beams, and the span to the central wall is about 3.5 m. Or have I missed something? Could it be "load-bearing" due to the bathroom above?

Since the "gillestuga" doesn't have any load-bearing walls and the staircase is located inside, the red-marked wall is unlikely to be load-bearing. If it were my house, I would have torn it down.

I would argue that it is not load-bearing. We have the same dimension on our floor structure and we have a span of about 4m.

Non-load bearing.
The wall between the stairs and the wc likely serves a function as it takes the earth pressure from the basement outer wall.
