Remove brick lattice

Hello everyone! I am new here and signed up especially because of this problem. I want to get rid of this ugly brick grid in front of the window. Does anyone have an idea how I should proceed? Below is a picture of a neighbor's window without the grid. Thank you for your help Josh

I want to get rid of this ugly brick grille in front of the window.

Which ugly brick grille do you mean? - I see two grilles there: an ugly one and one made of bricks. I would remove the ugly one, and that should be relatively easy: judging by the picture, it seems likely that it is only mortared into the bed joints at four points. Once that's gone, the remaining brick-hole matrix makes an aesthetic impression. If you wanted to remove both, it would be considerably more complicated: you would not only have to saw through six bricks on each side and chisel out the joints in the bottom row, but the lintel would also be missing (at the comparison window you can see a brick roll layer at the top). The question would also be, what is the point of the whole thing - because: would I be a rogue if I suspected this to be the window of a guest WC at this point?

I would go at the metal grid with the angle grinder if it is not somehow screwed in. I would only go at the "stone grid" if it is ensured that a window lintel can be installed without any problems.

I would use an angle grinder on the metal grid if it is not screwed in somehow.

The picture below is too blurry for me – I can’t clearly see whether it might just be screwed in; but at the top I’m fairly sure I can make out that it is mortared in. There I would drill directly next to the mortar and then chisel it out; after that, it would probably be much easier to remove the entire piece as a "handle" than by grinding it. I wouldn’t destroy it; especially ugly things often fetch prices our school wisdom could never have dreamed of. I would even say no other principle is as reliably verifiable as "perverse costs extra" *LOL*

Hey! Thanks to you all already. It is actually primarily about the "Steingitter". I can manage the metal grid. The point about the lintel is an important and good objection. I really need to get that clarified. I had thought about carefully removing the stones with a multitool, including the stones that are half "in the frame". I would then halve these and mortar them back in with the cut edge first. Do you think that would be a big problem for a bricklayer?

That you think aesthetically differently can happen – but that the structure holds the wall (shell) above it, have you understood?
