Hello bemjou,
if you want to know whether wall parts are still moving, you can stick on a "crack spy" or "crack monitor" and photograph it at regular intervals. However, you have to observe it for several months up to 1 year – the less movement there is, the longer. If the crack moves strongly in one direction, you can save yourself the renovation; then you just have to wait until the movement settles or counteract it structurally right away.
Just google the terms as above, you will find it immediately and it is self-explanatory.
Best regards

Hello Dirk,
thank you very much for your answer. I am also considering that, great tip! I now have an appointment with the structural engineer next week and then I think such a crack spy is a good option for further observation.
When I know more, I will update this thread again for people with a similar problem.
Kind regards
