 * Hello,
 * so far i worked with products and basic pages. Now I created a blogarticle and
   have the problem, that user can leave comments. Due to german law adjustments,
   right now I dont want to have a comment section.
 * I went to settings > discussion and disabled comments.
 * But still my commentsection is available. What could be the issue?

 * The options at Settings > Discussion apply to NEW posts and pages, although one
   option is for closing comments automatically after a number of days. But each
   post/page can be changed individually.
    The theme should show any existing comments,
   even if comments are closed. But the theme should not showing the comment form
   on a post/page where comments are closed.
