Alright thanks a lot for the advice. I will try the mortar cause I have no other choice unfortunately but I will take care when doing the pull-ups. And when I deal with brick walls again I know what to do from the start.

I don't really have another place to put it so would you say component mortar would be suitable? I just googled a bit more and it's definitely brick.

Interior load-bearing wall, not wood framed as far is I know. It's not my house and there is a wallpaper on it so I can't really get a good look on it other then through the holes I drilled. The dust coming from it is red in color (kinda like rust). I can scrape off part of the surface easily with a metal tool so it's pretty soft. The house was build on the 1950s in Germany if that helps.
Edit: just googled wood framed facade and I am pretty sure it's not. The holes are about 10-15 cm deep and even at the end of the hole there is still stone. So it's probably mortared bricks

Thank you for the good advice. I will try it out and hopefully thank you again when it is mounted and working.

Definitely an interesting idea. But wouldn't the epoxy Drip out of the hole cause it's liquid? Or would you seal the hole with tape while hardening the epoxy? I will also drill the holes bigger in the back either way (mortar or epoxy) to make the sealant itself like a dewel.
