Do you have an error in your example, because the third Entrie is always ignored and you only have four Columns? Anyhow, the approach still applies. 

  <xsl:template match="ColumnNames">
    <xsl:for-each select="Column[position() mod 2 = 1]">
      <xsl:variable name="position" select="position() * 2 - 1"/>
      <table>
        <thead>
          <tr>
            <th>
              <xsl:value-of select="."/>
            </th>
            <th>
              <xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::Column[1]"/>
            </th>
          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <xsl:value-of select="$position"/>
          <xsl:for-each select="../../ColumnEntries/Row/Entrie[position() = $position]">
            <tr>
              <td>
                <xsl:value-of select="."/>
              </td>
              <td>
                <xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::Entrie[1]"/>
              </td>
            </tr>
          </xsl:for-each>
        </tbody>
      </table>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
