Every time when I am close to an "dm market" (a German drugstore) I am getting this advertisement on my lock-screen. When I open this notification it looks like in the second screenshot below. There is no app for "dm" or the related service "PAYBACK" installed on my phone. I used the app in the past but it is no longer on my device.
First of all I would like to understand where is this coming from? And second how can I disable this kind of stuff?
There is no way to disable push notifications. They are handled by Apple's servers and will be sent to your device even if you uninstall the program.
Disabling all the app's respective settings under the Notification Center will only hide them. Refer to Apple's developer Push documentation for more details.
Specifically, look at the Apple Push Notification (APN) Service, which "transports and routes a notification from a given provider to a given device." Apple says the following about the APN:
Sometimes APNs might attempt to deliver notifications for an application on a device, but the device may repeatedly refuse delivery because there is no target application. This often happens when the user has uninstalled the application. In these cases, APNs informs the provider through a feedback service that the provider connects with. The feedback service maintains a list of devices per application for which there were recent, repeated failed attempts to deliver notifications. The provider should obtain this list of devices and stop sending notifications to them.
In short, Push notifications are handled outside of the device. To stop them, once a program has been installed, means the developer of the program must remove your device from the list (or the notification must fail enough for the APN to stop sending them entirely). As a user, there is not way to "stop" them, just hide them from within iOS.
Gotta Be Mobile provides a great article detailing the issue with Passbook and a fix. I've reposted the fix from the article below:
- First, head to the Settings in your iPhone.
- Click on General.
- Next, head to Date and Time which is down the list.
- Once you’re in there, you’ll want to change Set Automatically to Off.
- Go to Set Date & Time.
- Click on Today’s Date. Once you do that, you’ll be given the option to change the date.
- Move the year one year forward one year.
- This will prevent the error from happening. If you wish to change the date back to the real date, simply set Set Automatically to On and everything will return to normal.
- Head into Passbook and click the App Store button
Something about moving the date up might be expiring a certificate or just the adjustment of time back to correct seems to make passbook behave better.

I just experienced the same thing, although with a different coupon and app. For me, it turns out that it is coming from the 'Wallet' app. If it is, go to the 'Wallet' app, click on the coupon, then the 'i' on the bottom left. You can select 'Remove Pass' and that should get rid of it.
