Plaster or gypsum

I am going to move a doorway 15 cm to the right and at the same time remove the frame (maybe called dörrfoder). So I am going to take down one side and build up one side. It's a 40s house with plastered walls on brick. The side that I'm taking down should not be a problem. I'll knock down the wall and smooth the corner with plaster and mortar. Possibly some reinforcement. But how do I do on the other side where I need to build up a wall piece of 15 cm? The wall is about 10 cm thick. Do I build a structure of wooden studs, then plasterboard and then plaster? Do I go with wooden studs and then plasterboard and skip the plaster? The plaster in the apartment has almost no texture (i.e., very similar to the surface of plasterboard).

Yep. Just make sure it's reasonably free from dust and debris...
