Unfortunately, the kids managed to damage the lower middle pane of this window wall while playing around. The glass appears to be cracked on the inside but not completely broken through. However, I’m not entirely sure about that.
We have separated the fairly large room with a drywall partition to create two children's bedrooms (visible in the upper pane). This wall might now be an obstacle for replacing the pane.
However, I generally don’t have any idea how to replace a pane in a window wall like this.
Is it possibly feasible to replace the pane despite the wall being there?

Please do not pry it out with a screwdriver or similar tool. Use a thin putty knife or buy a suitable tool (a glazing tool) for around 5€.

If you remove a side strip first, you might be able to pull out the top and bottom strips afterward. However, I doubt the pane will come out, as it looks very tight. Placing the wall directly against the pane, as you can see, was not a good idea.
I would cut back the wall area around the pane and then fill the space with a strip of polystyrene after installing the new pane.
