RE: Major Rathbone's accomodation in Hannover
Thank you so much! I've been thinking about this for some time now, in my dictionaries I found "Irrenhaus", which is definitely negative, as (the) one meaning in this context. That's what we were taught as well. Laurie, we use almost the same word for exactly what you defined (Asyl=place for victims of political persecution), but not for anything else. It's good to know "asylum" has no negative connotation.
