Tear down wall in basement.. Load-bearing?

[jonaslatt]

I'm considering building a youth room in the basement.

I would like to tear down the old pantry plus the wall towards the old laundry room.

Everything marked with X I want to remove.
If I have understood correctly, the wall marked in blue is load-bearing since it goes through the entire house.

And in that case, there shouldn't be any issues with removing the X walls?

Best regards

If the blue marked one is a partition wall, you can tear down the desired walls...

However, to prevent the outer wall from buckling inward due to the pressure of the soil outside, it might be a good idea to leave, for example, ½ m of one wall closest to the outer wall.

What are the walls marked with X made of? Are they wooden walls, masonry walls?

They are brick/masonry/concrete/plaster or similar. No wood.
