The classic question: load-bearing or non-load-bearing?

[Twofive]

Hello forum!

I've found myself in the eternal construction question: should I worry about a load-bearing wall – or is it just a regular partition wall?

Facts about the house:

- Built in the 1960s
- Brick, 89 sqm plus basement
- Roof pitch 27°

According to the original documents: no load-bearing interior walls

The drawings show W-trusses

But reality: my trusses don't quite look like the drawing (see picture).

Question: the wall I want to demolish, is it actually load-bearing after all, or is it just a regular wall that thinks it's more significant than it is?

I know nobody can say 100% online, but your experiences, tips, and guesses are truly appreciated – especially if anyone has been in the same situation with '60s houses and "personal interpretation" of drawings.

My qualified guess is that it is load-bearing because the roof trusses are not trusses. And it looks like it is a heart wall.

Very similar to the drawing (and the question) in this thread: https://www.byggahus.se/forum/threads/varfoer-sjoenk-taket-tog-ner-innervaegg.558173/

Maybe you can get some useful information from there? Although there, the trusses might look like in the drawing, unlike in your case.
