Hello!

Yes, I know that building permits, etc., must be applied for when modifying load-bearing structures.

Now to the situation:
On the ground floor, the outer walls according to the construction drawings from 1976 are "Prefabricated storey-high wall elements of 250 lightweight expanded clay concrete. Residential areas are additionally insulated with 95 mm mineral wool between 95 mm studs and clad with gypsum board."

The upper floor has no lightweight expanded clay concrete, but instead:
Facade brick, fiberboard, 120 mm stud frame, 120 mm mineral wool, vapor barrier, gypsum board.

The relationship between them appears in the attached photo.

Now to the question concerning the ground floor. The above plus the picture should reasonably mean that the wooden parts found in the walls on the ground floor, i.e., "95 mm mineral wool between 95 mm studs and clad with gypsum board" are not load-bearing, but it is the lightweight expanded clay concrete that is?

Thank you in advance.

It is the shell that is load-bearing, not the plaster and insulation; the latter is merely cosmetic to make it a bit warmer and provide a surface to look at.
