Hello, after much reading here on the forum about load-bearing walls, I also have to post a thread myself.
The house is a wooden house built in 1989 by Gullringshus, the roof trusses seem to be trusses.
We would like to tear down the wall between the kitchen and the living room.
Is this wall load-bearing or not? I have been thinking about this for a long time now and it is a plaster wall, but I am unsure about what might be hiding inside.
Attached is a blueprint of the house, and I have marked the wall we want to tear down.
Grateful for all the help I can get

Hopefully, there is someone more experienced who can help you with this. Personally, I'm unsure because the building has a hipped roof, and there are probably many ways to construct one.
I would assume that the truss in the section is self-supporting. Is it possible to get up to the attic and take pictures?

The most likely scenario is that the trusses supporting the hip roof on the gables are also of the truss type. If that is the case, the red-marked wall is not load-bearing. The simplest way to confirm this is to go up to the attic and photograph the trusses on the affected gable.

It looks as it should, i.e., trusses also under the hip roof, but with different measurements. This means that no partition walls are load-bearing.
