Load-bearing wall

[KR77]

Hi! Grateful for your wise advice.

We are renovating the kitchen. The previous owner removed a load-bearing wall at an angle and reinforced it with a laminated beam. Unfortunately, he ignored one of the load-bearing points, and the ceiling has started to sag. Therefore, we've temporarily put up pillars 2.

We are now redoing the kitchen and want to remove the load-bearing wall on the right (147 cm). We are planning to place a beam from point A to B. But now to the difficult part. How do we get rid of pillar 1? The problem is that we can't place a beam there like point A to B because the beam's post would end up in the middle of the window.

Can one cast a cross brace for the A-B beam (is that even according to building codes?!)? Or do you have any other good ideas?

Thanks!!!

Everything depends on how the intermediate floor is constructed. A beam from A to B should be enough. But nothing can really be answered without seeing it on site.
