Good evening everyone,
After visiting three home improvement stores for advice and still feeling unsure (since I received three different recommendations), I’m hoping to get some tips here.
We have removed tiles from the floor. What remains is the tile adhesive (see photos). Using a 7cm (3-inch) wide chisel hasn’t been very effective because the adhesive is extremely stubborn and doesn’t come off easily. The adhesive is about 3–4mm (0.1–0.15 inch) thick and covers a spacious area of 70m² (750 sq ft). Afterwards, 60m² (645 sq ft) of parquet flooring and 8m² (86 sq ft) of tiles will be installed here.
What would you recommend? Many thanks in advance!

Thanks to all of you. I've also heard about the asbestos. We will definitely wear respiratory protection since the tiles are from 1979.
[...]Respiratory protection plus a sealed disposable coverall. The vacuumed dust should then, of course, be properly packaged and disposed of.
