We want to remove a wall that has become redundant after the house was extended (marked in red on the floor plan). The question is whether, based on the attached drawings, it can be seen if it should be load-bearing? We want to remove the entire wall from the chimney to what is an exterior wall on the left of the drawing. The fact that it is included in the sectional drawing suggests that it is load-bearing, doesn't it?
In reality, the wall is now built with an opening 1 meter to the left of the chimney, i.e., a slightly smaller opening than on the drawing. However, there are several different drawings from before the house was built, and after this, the floor plan varies, for example with several openings in this wall at some point (the house was built in '56, so people have changed it back and forth over the years).

Safe carrying. How does the opening look today? Is it glulam i.e., a 30-40 cm beam? It's not a big problem to have it completely open with an HEA beam, for example. But you will need a post by the chimney stack for the beam.
It is an opening model double door, but the door has been removed. However, there is space above the door opening for some form of beam/rule. I knocked a little on the wall up by the ceiling, and it doesn't seem like it's going down more than 10 cm into the wall. I interpret this as there are several studs in the wall holding it all up.
Thanks for the answers, although I was hoping it could be a simple "weekend operation" to remove the wall.
