Is the wall load-bearing?

[Lp3]

We have a 1.5-story house with a basement from 1969 and want to remove a wall on the upper floor to create an additional bedroom. I've googled myself to death about load-bearing walls and want to conclude that our wall is not load-bearing. I wonder if anyone with more knowledge objects and thinks that someone needs to be hired to assess it.

Info: In the basement and on the first floor, there is a "heart wall" running along the middle of the house. On the upper floor, there is no such wall, but there are "kattvindar" (unheated spaces under the roof) on both long sides running along the entire length of the house. On the upper floor (which has sloping ceilings), there are two cross walls (plus a small bathroom that adds two more small walls, but I think that's irrelevant in this context), and we want to remove one of these. Between these walls, there is a space of about 5 meters without a wall. The wall in question is about 70mm thick, and the chimney is next to this wall. We will set up a new cross wall closer to the middle of the house and then divide the room with a longitudinal wall. If that matters.

So what do you think? Do you need blueprints, etc., to determine it? Where can I get them if so?

Simple tip. Hire a designer. It's worth it. You can't Google your way through things like this if you're an amateur.

The smoothest way is to upload all the material you have and invite @justusandersson

In general, it can be said that walls on the upper floor of a 1.5-story house are not load-bearing unless they are "kattvindsväggar". If you want to know more, drawings are required. Plans over bv and ov as well as section.

The municipality, the building permit department, etc.

Welcome to the forum as well!
