What kind of interior wall is this?

[David123abc]

Hello,
I am in the process of tearing down an interior wall which I thought was built with gypsum and wooden studs. But it turns out to be something else, see picture, does anyone recognize the building material?

I was sure that the wall was not load-bearing since it is only 70 mm thick and runs in the same direction as the floor joists. Is there any reason to worry?

Best regards, David

Looks like it is gasbetong. Normally, 70 mm gasbetong is not load-bearing. It should be at least 100 cm but check the drawings.

Looks like it's aerated concrete. Normally, 70 mm aerated concrete is not load-bearing. It should be at least 100 cm, but check the drawings.

It doesn't seem to be prefab but rather built on-site since it also contains rebar. Spontaneously, it feels like a difficult way to build. But maybe that's how it was in the 70s.

It is lättbetong-masoned with rebar in, probably not load-bearing.
