The walls between 1 and 2 and between 1 and 4 are 7 cm thick, presumably made of NF bricks placed on their side, and are probably neither load-bearing nor bracing. They may contain reinforcements, but only for themselves.

It's good to know, interesting that the structural engineer says otherwise, but also regarding the wall in the kitchen. He said that one is definitely load-bearing; I haven't heard anything about it being non-load-bearing. I'll also upload the structural analysis for the ground floor, as I have all of those. The house was originally built by an architect, and I have access to all the documents.

I was also surprised by that: those are 11.5 and then a serving hatch?! Until now, I didn’t know that 11.5 could be load-bearing.

Once the orientations and also the floor plan of the basement again.

It is also called stiffening.

Presumably, the structural engineer read a reference to reinforcement and concluded from that that it bears load (and/or stiffens), which in my opinion is incorrect here.

Rare, but not impossible, and there would be no objection to pass-throughs in load-bearing and/or stiffening walls. As I said, I consider the kitchen wall to be stiffening, though not at the same time load-bearing.
