Assuming that's exactly what you're thinking, but I would remove what's marked in red:
A wall with areas of damaged plaster, a red zigzag line indicating removal zone; plastic covers the floor for protection during renovation.
and continue to the right as far as it's bomt. You don't need to saw, just chip away the plaster. Definitely avoid prying/breaking.

Now we have knocked down what came off voluntarily, inside the red markings in the picture below. I don't think we can get more off without a saw, crowbar, and force. So the question is how we patch it all up.

What do we do with the cavity at the edge between tretex/wooden wall and chimney? Any ideas?

And the hole for the old ventilation duct that will not be used? It was covered with tretex, spackled, and wallpapered before, and we've just stuffed in some insulation and pressed the tretex back in to prevent drafts.

The mortar has come loose between some of the bricks, can it be filled in with the same lime mortar (hydraulic?) that we use to fill the rest?

Damaged wall section with exposed bricks marked with red and blue lines. A patched ventilation hole is visible at the top. Wall with cracked plaster revealing underlying material, showing signs of wear and age. Visible patchwork where repair may be required. Close-up of a wall edge showing a gap between a white painted area and rough brickwork, with some plaster visible, possibly illustrating renovation work. Close-up of a damaged brick wall with loose mortar between bricks, showing exposed areas needing repair and discussion around filling gaps and ventilation. Square hole in plastered wall showing underlying cardboard, possibly a makeshift patch for unused ventilation channel. Edges appear rough and uneven.
