Replace wall in barn with lightweight concrete blocks, dimension?

[*Sanna*]

We are going to replace a wall made of bricks in our old barn and rebuild it with lightweight concrete blocks instead; the question is what size blocks we should use?

How deep/thick is the old wall? Does it bear anything?

The old wall is load-bearing, the trusses rest on it, I would guess it is about 10cm thick as it is only a layer of concrete brick.

Well, I don't know what a concrete tegelsten is, concrete is cast cement with ballast and tegel is fired clay...

anyway, I think that regular 19x19x59 -blocks would be enough.

Solid concrete stone in brick format

Okay Then you can use them for a small garden path or something later...

We are replacing a wall made of brick in our old barn and will build it up with lightweight concrete blocks instead, the question is what dimension of blocks we should use?

Why should it be replaced?

The walls are about to collapse, therefore they should be replaced BEFORE they collapse....
