Yes, the word Geladen only shows when something is keeping the extractor from returning to it's seated position (such as a cartridge), and there should be a spring that forces it to return. On an unloaded firearm that extractor should lie flush with the breech block. Carefully examine it to see why it is not returning to battery, and for the sake of common sense please consider it as loaded until you are absolutely certain that there is no cartridge present. And of course do not force anything.
