I will tear down a part of the wall in my apartment as indicated by the red marks in the drawing. I went to the municipality and looked at the construction drawings. The interior walls were not drawn there at all. Does this mean that the interior walls are not load-bearing?
 
  • Floor plan showing a residential layout with a section of an interior wall marked in red for removal, questioning if it's load-bearing.
If you upload the construction drawing, it will be easier to assess!

Doesn't your landlord/BRF association know which walls can be demolished?
 
Does not look like it is load-bearing. Simple test. If it is thin and plaster, it is probably okay to demolish.
But I suggest you ask the chairman of the association to take a look at it.

Personally, I would check according to the above and demolish. Load-bearing walls are usually in concrete or have a heavy beam up in the ceiling. Drill/saw a hole and you'll see.

Ok, I wasn't very thorough in my question. The construction drawing was only available on a slide and was generic and not specific to my part of the building. It is a new brf association that is not functioning yet and doesn't know how to interpret the drawings. The "chairman" says that we can't remove load-bearing external walls...:). In my assessment, it's lightweight concrete. The construction is from 1940 and I live on the 5th floor of 5. No beam in the ceiling.
 
If the wall is made of lightweight concrete and approximately 7 cm thick, it is not load-bearing and you can tear it down. Agree with the chairman, don't tear down the outer walls, they are load-bearing! :)
 
The walls that are not included in the drawing were probably added after the house was built and are therefore likely not load-bearing :)
