Hello everyone, need to know if this wall affects the load-bearing capacity of the house. The house is from 1959 built with 50mm plank walls throughout the house.

Need to know how demolishing a wall running in the same direction as the floor joists affects the load-bearing capacity.

Red will be demolished & green is the new wall for the new room.

It is usually the walls that are drawn thick that are load-bearing, but who knows if the drawing is correctly executed? If everything is a plank wall, I can't imagine that it would affect the load-bearing capacity to tear down the red wall.

Fun small rooms at 0.48 and 0.91 m2...

there was a built-in wardrobe along the outer wall in that room. It has been removed

thanks for the info regarding the red wall
 
One might suspect that there shouldn't be a problem with tearing down the red vähhen, but to be sure, more information is needed. Is it a single-story house? How are the exterior walls constructed? Please show a sectional drawing. Houses with plank frames can be a bit tricky.
