I have a walk-in closet in my bedroom that is adjacent to my kitchen.
I'm considering tearing down the wall in the kitchen that is next to the walk-in closet to create a larger kitchen, and also sealing off the door from the bedroom to the closet.
The apartment is in a building built in 1950.
It is OK to tear down the wall if it is not load-bearing according to the board.
I have no plans for the apartment, I made a sketch in Paint of how the apartment looks.
It's the wall marked in red that I plan to tear down. The wall is about 10-15cm thick and consists of brick + plaster. All interior walls look like that except a thick wall between the bathroom and the living room which is about 40cm thick and is solid concrete.
What do you think, is the wall load-bearing?

No, it's not.....
Ok, thank you
How do you know it's not a load-bearing wall?

Since it is likely that the walls running horizontally (according to the drawing) through the house are load-bearing or at least supportive. Which is also indicated by the dashed line above the doorway between the kitchen and the bedroom.
Ok, thanks
