Sealed space in basement

[Labbarparn]

Hello

I have a space in my house built in 1922, in one corner that is sealed off. I measured it via a ventilation hole and it's approximately 4x3.5 sqm. I've posted a poorly made film that I took through the same hole.

Does anyone have an idea why this would be done?

Rock outcrops perhaps, so it became too expensive to build a basement there.

Rock outcropping maybe, so it became too expensive to make a basement there.

That's how it is in my basement, it was hand-dug when the house was built, and they probably couldn't remove a big stone in one corner, so it is bricked up right there.

That's how it is in my basement, it was hand-dug when the house was built and they probably couldn't remove a large stone in one corner, so it's bricked up there.

How large is the bricked-up part in your place? This is around 10 square meters. There could definitely be a stone there, it's built on a gravel ridge, so there's practically no rock in the ground here (almost all neighbors on the street have dug a pool, including me, and there has been no rock in the way).

Have a lot of people disappeared in the neighborhood over the years?

Who knows what you'll unleash if you open up there

Have many people disappeared in the neighborhood over the years?

Maybe best to leave it untouched

How large is the walled-up area in your case? This is about 10 square meters. There might be a stone there, it's built on a gravel ridge, so there's basically no rock in the ground here (almost all neighbors on the street have dug pools, myself included, and there hasn't been any rock in the way).

five - six square meters

If there are mountains in the way or large boulders, you can use "smygdynamit" to break them into smaller pieces that can be moved aside more easily. A friend did that when he put in a new floor in his kitchen, in a house that was about 150 years old around 25 years ago. He drilled holes in the stones first so he could insert the "dynamite." No permit was needed for blasting when using "smygdynamit" back then at least.
