As I said, "Gehener" is fine. Basically, German names mainly originate from the Middle Ages, and at that time, the spellings weren't fixed. A famous example is the common name "Meier", you can find it in many different versions: Meier, Meyer, Mejer, Maier, Mayer, Majer, Meir, Mair, and the list goes on.

The family name "Gehener" does exist, and I think it's a variant spelling of "Gehner", just like "Gähner". (I think Gehner is the dominant spelling, though.) It's just that I'd expect Ishida to transliterate "Gehener" as "ゲヘナー" (that transliteration is also closer to how most German-speaking people would pronounce "Gehener").

The chapter title doesn't make much sense in Japanese, too, as I said. I didn't even consider to translate "未" as "sheep", but this allowed Imperial Scans to keep the title format on the left, although "未"'s main meaning (especially with the implied reading) is clearly "not yet". Ishida's playing with words again, and you can only make sense of it by forming interpretations of what Ishida could have meant. I've already given the common interpretations of the title floating at 2ch above.
