How would you assess the wall marked in red below, is it load-bearing? It is a blåbetong wall.
Note that it runs along the ridge similar to the central blåbetong wall.


Blueprint showing a floor plan with a wall marked in red questioned for its load-bearing status.
 
Yes, now you got it right! Good to have a proper drawing too. Most things suggest that the red-marked part is not load-bearing, but I would still like to know, partly what material the outer walls are made of, and partly how the flooring to the next floor is constructed. The blue concrete in the partition walls can mean that the flooring consists of reinforced concrete and then it can get a bit tricky.

Thanks for the response.

The outer wall consists of bricks, insulation, plaster/concrete.
The basement foundation has a concrete floor, and for the upper floor, it's wooden floor joists.
 
Yes, then the wall is certainly not load-bearing. With concrete floors, you can never be quite sure. The reinforcement can be oriented in different directions. It looks like a 1950s house with a well-designed layout.

Which walls would you consider to be load-bearing, the "heart wall" in the middle that runs from the chimney to the other end?
 
Among the internal walls, it's only the heart wall. You can see the dashed lines at the doorless openings (leading into the bathroom and between the living room and what seems to be the dining room today) indicating that there is some type of arch above.
