A floor plan of the ground floor and upper floor would be important to answer your question here.
Also, one would need to know what you want, what is important to you. What should the room be good for? Should there only be a dining table there, or can something be left on the pipe side?

If you tell someone who has already written over 20k helpful posts here a good joke, then they should be allowed to laugh about it once. Now I’m going to vote and hike first, everything else later.

You are more than welcome to laugh. But insulting and mocking someone you don't even know is certainly not the right way to go about it.
However, I don't really care either. But as a hint for you, despite your 20k posts, which I cannot and do not want to judge. But your behavior towards me, sure. Constructive criticism is of course very welcome.
I am not an expert and therefore had the structural engineer come. He looked at everything and also received all the documents of the house. That I now have an unpleasant surprise is not tragic. It happens. That's why I'm asking here for ideas.

I want to make the two rooms into a more open living/dining area. On the side where I am, the dining table should go.
I was upstairs earlier, and there will be pipes for radiators.
The bathroom is elsewhere and there is no drain in the wall. Ideally, I would like to run the two pipes outside or around it, possibly making a cutout at the top of the beam for this. The upper floor is mostly finished, so I would prefer not to open the floor again.

Thank you very much.

I would try to make a feature out of the bug; hopefully the modern coined term for it was appropriate. First, take a look at what runs through there in terms of pipes or immutable things, then think about it or post the picture and ask for ideas. I have seen the wildest ideas already, also because it would always be my preferred choice to leave it as it is and creatively integrate it into the room design. The question is whether the wall has to be completely removed or you just want to make it look more open. It could be a steel beam or a wooden beam that "swallows" this pipe, I have also seen larger HT pipes or similar, which were then painted (gold/silver spray paint or similar), just as easily clad with drywall in the desired shape and maybe even with a shelf with stylish glass shelves etc. Trillions of possibilities to make it look as if it was intended that way.

My office used to consist of three rooms. Bathroom, toilet, and a piece of the hallway. Water and heating pipes also ran inside the wall between the bathroom and the toilet. We rerouted them and then boxed them in with drywall.

Thank you for the suggestions. One part on the right should stay anyway, about 40cm, where the 3-outlet socket is. I have to use my imagination.
