Hello!
I feel like removing the circled wall.
It is a masonry wall. With what, I'm not quite sure, but it's hard.
But it undeniably looks like a load-bearing wall, right?
How should I proceed, after all, it's not too long a section to remove.

I guess that your trusses run across this wall. You solve this with a beam of either glulam, kerto, or steel. How it should be dimensioned depends on many factors like spans, number of floors, snow zones, etc. My advice is to contact a structural engineer. There is a program at www.moelven.se where you can calculate glulam. I don’t know if this specific construction is included, though.
Yes, exactly, the trusses are laid across.
Could it be advantageous to have a load-bearing wall on the upper floor right above?
I would prefer to avoid the beam in the ceiling due to the already low ceiling height.
A steel beam can have a slightly smaller dimension, right?
Thanks for the quick response!

Oh, two floors above. Then I would be careful if I didn't know exactly what I was doing. Hire someone knowledgeable to design it for you, so you don't end up with a house on you one morning when you wake up.
The load-bearing wall on the upper floor stands on your basement wall, so without it, it won't be particularly load-bearing either.
As mentioned, don't tear down this construction yourself. You have many kilograms on top.

I have inquired and an H-beam 160x160 is apparently good.
How do you proceed, can you tear down the wall and then put up the beam with props?
Or do you set up the beam first and then tear down?
Do you build support for the beam or cut out in the existing wall for it?
What works best?
