If there is a wall directly underneath and nothing has happened since 59, I wouldn't worry either... :)

Fact is. It is a continuous crack over several meters. That is not to be neglected per se! After all, you don’t want the ceiling to fall on your head. It needs to be checked whether there is a steel beam or a load-bearing wall of at least 17.5 cm under the crack. One should probably have an expert check it on site. The hundred (0.5h work + travel) would be worth it to me. Nevertheless, this looks to me like settlements on the outer flanks of the house. So there must be a wall underneath there. After 70 years, something completely normal.

Apparently no one dares to tackle the problem. I called a structural engineer who said a building surveyor has to check it. Then I called a building surveyor who said a structural engineer has to look at it. I get the feeling they are not interested in such small jobs like you mean.

Close to the crack is an 11.5 cm wall. I assume it is a tear crack caused by the pressure of the wall from below when the ceiling on the left and right settles slightly.
