Hello everyone,
As part of our major renovation, we would like to remove the wall located in the middle of the room. The room is a small extension to the house. It has a concrete roof. The four exterior walls are between 10-20cm (4-8 inches) thick. Steel beams are installed in all exterior walls (both within the walls and above the exterior wall). I would greatly appreciate an assessment of whether this wall can be removed. If you need any additional information, please feel free to ask.
Any help would be much appreciated.
PS: Unfortunately, we do not have any building plans or similar documents.
Best regards

It is difficult to make a reliable statement without plans or sketches. Where is the severe corrosion on the ceiling coming from? Is water leaking through?
What is the span of the steel beams/ceiling? Please make a sketch showing where everything is supported and placed, including approximate dimensions.
Tendentially, I would lean towards it not being load-bearing, but I cannot say for sure with the information provided.
