Demolishing interior brick wall in 50s house

[M.Kristensen]

We need the help of the entire elite this Sunday evening

We live in a brick house built in 1950 in Skåne. The house has a heart wall and two cross walls.

I want to tear down a cross wall that runs from the basement all the way up to the attic.

My idea is to start dismantling it from the top down to the entrance floor.

It concerns the two walls that are circled

entrance floor

upper floor

attic floor lies on the hanaband

kattvind on the upper floor

My wife is a little worried that the wall might be load-bearing whereas I say it is not.

The wall is made of hollow brick on the upper floor if that has any significance.

Thanks in advance

I agree that it shouldn't be load-bearing, but I would still like to clear up a few question marks. It appears to be a half-brick wall, but the core wall also appears to be one. I find that a bit odd. What does it look like in reality?

 

[M.Kristensen]

It is correct that there are half-bricks in all the walls on the entrance and upper floors. In the basement, there are full bricks.

 

[justusandersson]

You can probably start tearing down the wall. Since it connects to the chimney, it hardly has any stabilizing function either.

Thanks for the answers. Now begins the eternal work of damskydda.
