Is the wall load-bearing?

[Bister]

Forum friends!
I am working on a slow renovation of a single-story house with a basement, built around 1950. The hallway is divided into two "rooms" where the space closest to the front door, about 2 m2, is separated by a wall (drawn in red on the floor plan). We are thinking of tearing down this wall to create a more open hallway.

I have thought that the house's load-bearing wall is the one running through the middle of the house, but the question is whether the hallway wall could also be load-bearing? The reason I'm wondering is that they've chosen a rather sturdy stud for the hallway wall (see arrow on the photo), about 190x75 mm. However, that doesn't necessarily mean much as the whole house was built somewhat based on what was available.

So, what do you think, is it possible to say something about the load-bearing function of the hallway wall?

Best regards,
Magnus

Check where the trusses are located, you can usually see from the outside if there are eaves.
How wide is it between the trusses?
How are the trusses constructed?

It is extremely unlikely that the hallway wall is load-bearing, but as Demmpa writes, it is wise to check the roof trusses first. Normally, there are no load-bearing walls on the ground floor of a single-story house, but the span seems large and the construction style (judging by the photo) somewhat unsystematic, so one cannot be sure.

Agree with the above. Possibly, that rule could act as a pillar against a spliced roof truss or something heavy.

The wall is almost certainly, partially load-bearing. That wall, along with the wall against the WC, limits the span of the trusses. See the construction and dimensions of the trusses. Maybe the wall against the WC is enough. I suspect it will hold.
