With us, the brick cladding of a door lintel is broken and also partially already crumbling. The concrete casting is unaffected by this. It seems as if it was already installed broken.

Our construction supervisor says to replace it, the site manager says it is harmless (I didn't expect anything else ) if only the bricks are missing from the outside. Besides, it is supposed to bear no load.

Unfortunately, I somehow can't provide pictures. I can't compress them to 1MB and sharing pictures from the cloud is not allowed. Maybe someone can still help.

Was once clever and simply cut out the corresponding part

I would also have said harmless, since the brick around the outside has no load-bearing function.

In case of emergency, the door frame will hold.

And if I don't make a door frame, but rather such colorful ribbons like DDR balcony

But what do you say about the crack in the second brick (almost in the middle of the second)? It is not clear whether it is only a surface crack in the brick or a complete one, meaning also in the concrete, or am I just imagining that incorrectly?
