ᐅ Building a Wall with a Door Opening

Hello,
now that my outdoor kitchen is finished, I want to start the next project.
I plan to build a wall (with a door) between the garage and the house wall. The wall will be about 2.50m (8 feet) wide and 2.70m (9 feet) high. A door matching the pattern and color of our sectional door from Hörmann will be installed.
Do I need to consider anything to ensure the wall remains stable and doesn’t simply “fall over”? I think that’s unlikely to happen easily.
Can I use standard calcium silicate bricks, and how thick should they be at a minimum?
Yesterday, I poured a frost-resistant strip foundation with reinforcement steel at a depth of 90cm (3 feet).

The attached picture is over a year old, I don’t have a more recent one at the moment.

Thanks in advance for your messages and best regards

Search for wall connection anchors, 3 pieces per side.

All right, thank you very much!
Is there a minimum stone thickness I need to use for masonry?

So that it looks nice. The wall is not load-bearing.
However, I hope you never have to use heavy machinery in the garden.

The right side of the house is 3 meters (10 feet) wide and open. If necessary, I can therefore…

Do you not need a building permit / planning permission for something like this?

It was all included in the building permit / planning permission application for the house back then.
