Load-bearing wall? 70s house

[Byggdjuret]

I have difficulty orienting myself.
When I look at the sectional drawing.
And the drawing with the floor plan.
I get that it's the short side where the kitchen is. In that case, it should be the wall between the kitchen and the hall. That seems more likely than the wall between the kitchen and living room. Load-bearing walls are often like between the hall and kitchen. Since the joists run along the short side.

The wall is definitely load-bearing. I find it very unlikely that there would have been no wall between the kitchen and the living room when the house was built. A load beam is required to open it up.

I find it hard to see the wall as load-bearing at least if I have thought correctly about the house. Because if the house is as I think with the short side where the kitchen and entrance are, it means that the wall cannot be load-bearing. Since the roof beams run along the short side.
But if I'm wrong, then you are right.

I get that it is the short side where the kitchen is. In such cases, it should be the wall between the kitchen and hall. It feels more likely than the wall between the kitchen and living room. Bearing walls are often like that between the hall and kitchen. Since the floor joists run along the short side.

The kitchen and living room are on the short side in the "facade facing west" image, the small and large windows there are in the kitchen, then the wall to the living room goes just to the right of the large window. So, it is that wall that is to be torn down.

The kitchen and living room are located on the short side in the image "facade facing west," the small and large windows there are in the kitchen, then the wall towards the living room goes just to the right of the large window. That is the wall that should be removed.

You want to remove the wall that goes towards the living room? It should not be load-bearing. As I understand, it runs parallel to the ceiling joists. Its load-bearing function should be minimal then. However, if you look at the wall going between the kitchen and the hallway, I suspect it is load-bearing. It is marked in the sectional drawing. Additionally, it is positioned to support the beams. As long as you don't touch that wall, there should be no problem. But it is a good way to think, that if a wall runs perpendicular to the ceiling joists, it is most likely load-bearing. If it runs parallel, it is the opposite. So go ahead...

The wall is definitely load-bearing. That there would have been no wall between the kitchen and living room when the house was built seems highly unlikely to me. It requires an offset with a beam to be able to open it up.

Agree. It looks like a heart wall and is therefore load-bearing.

or goes the house as I think the short side is where the kitchen and entrance are.

If you look closely at the elevation drawings, you can see that the front door is on a long side and not on the gable.

The wall that TS wants to tear down runs parallel to the roof ridge according to the drawing, typically a load-bearing wall.

Poodle risk
Now I must have missed something here. I got it into my head that the short side was against me on the drawing.
But if that's the case, that the short side is what I thought was the short side. Then I am absolutely wrong.
So... a poodle from me. I apologize for misleading you.
Then that wall can absolutely be load-bearing. There's a beam drawn in. However, there are too many doors close to each other for it to really be load-bearing. But the rules are simple because if it goes counter to the ceiling beams, then it is load-bearing. (very simplified rules) Then it might be that there are no problems with tearing down the wall. Its load-bearing function might not be that significant. But I will leave that to a professional.

We have now decided to bring in a professional to look at it and come up with a solution. Many thanks for your responses, everyone!

Don't forget the building notification as well, in case it is a load-bearing wall.
