ᐅ Could this wall be load-bearing with a thickness of 9.5 cm (approximately 3.75 inches)?

Hello everyone,

We have a house from 1976 and were wondering if the wall marked in yellow in the attached image could be load-bearing.

Of course, it is advisable to consult a structural engineer before removing any wall, but as a first assessment, I wanted to ask for your opinion.

The wall thickness is about 9.5 cm (3.7 inches).

Kind regards

Is there a beam along the line where the plaster is applied? In principle, I would say no; the plan even indicates a wall thickness of 7.5cm (3 inches) here. Not much material would be removed.

One should never discuss this question based solely on a floor plan (and even less on a section of it). Nevertheless, I agree with the previous speaker that this wall will only serve as a room divider. Furthermore, there are not only load-bearing walls but also bracing walls (which probably does not apply in this case), and first of all, "non-load-bearing" is not automatically equivalent to "free to remove." However, this wall probably does not contribute to fire protection either.

The white walls appear to be load-bearing, while the black-and-white ones are non-load-bearing. However, it is always necessary to consider the entire floor plan to draw comprehensive conclusions. The upper floor or the roof can also provide important clues regarding the structural stability.

It would be helpful to have the reinforcement plan for the ceiling above this floor. Knowing the direction in which it was tensioned would allow for further conclusions.
