The message of the song "Lean on Me" is that everyone needs help at some point, and it is okay to reach out to others when facing problems or feeling weak. We can rely on each other for strength and support. This concept is visually illustrated by the two half-timbered houses at Tiedexer Straße 30 and 32 in Einbeck, Germany. House number 32 is leaning toward House number 30.

Most of the half-timbered houses in Tiedexer Straße were built using the post-and-beam construction method, which was popular during Medieval times. This method utilizes large, vertical wooden beams set further apart, creating open spaces. These beams act like braces to support the weight of the structures. At the same time, they provide a framework for the walls and roof.

Throughout the ages, renovations have been carried out on the houses on Tiedexer Straße. The structural stability of the houses was significantly affected. It led to three houses tilting westward. House number 34 suffered extensive damage and fell into despair that it had to be torn down.
