Load-bearing wall?

[boinnk]

Yet another "load-bearing wall" thread

Went to city hall and, with some help, got the blueprints for my condominium. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about such blueprints that I got from the lady.

The wall I want to remove is the one marked in red in this drawing:

And here is the plan that I don't understand much of:

Is it okay to take down that wall (after I've talked to the board, of course)? And how do I know if there is electricity or other stuff in the wall?

Thanks in advance!

4 floors and stone house? The wall you want to remove is 7cm thick? If the house is built of stone and the interior wall is 7 cm thick, it is not load-bearing. Most likely consists of lightweight concrete blocks and can be removed. However, talk to the board first as they may have opinions on such measures, even if you have the right to do this.

The house is 3 floors and I'm not really sure how thick the wall is, maybe 10 cm. I also don't know what the house is made of. Is it not possible to determine anything about the wall being load-bearing or not from my second drawing in the first post?

The fact that the wall is not included in what claims to be a construction drawing I think is quite telling. Not load-bearing.

Edit:
Thanks for the help!

That sounds reasonable
Now I just need to talk to the board before I tear down the thing.

What do you do with electrical wiring? There are two round covers on the wall (on either side of the opening to the living room) where wiring is hidden behind. But I don't really know how they are stretched inside the wall.

LPP - resolved on-site

You will need to arrange for grooves to be milled into adjacent walls and have an electrician on standby who can run conduits and wires for you.
