I yield to your superior understanding of German grammar!
Merriam-Webster lists "nothing" as either a noun, pronoun, or adverb depending on usage. Perhaps because I think more in a mathematical or logical structure, I equate "nothing" with "zero", and I see it as a noun. It's hard for me to understand how the German meaning could be a different grammatical part of speech than the English.
