I ordered a couple of theese and when a got them I noticed  that there are only two solder-lugs. Since I don't really know anything about electronics I thought I ask if I'll be able to use theese like a would a normal dc-jack along with a batter  or would plugging a dc-adapter in harm the battery?

You may not be able to use a battery with those jacks. You could, but it's likely going to continuously drain at all times. You'll have to test it out a bit.

I use those in all my pedals that does not have space for a battery.
If you use this with battery you have to remove the battery before you use a dc-adapter.

Thats what was thinking. But what if dont take out the battery, will i just be drained or will it be harmed in some other way?

I wouldnt recommend those if you want a battery too.
It would be ok if you put a power switch on the pedal though, otherwise as people said the battery will drain all the time, and youll need to make sure you unplug the battery if you use the powersupply.

However, that being said, these little jacks are AWESOME and I love them.

YMMV though.

Does anyone know where you can get those in the States?  I'd love to use those in some of my battery-less builds.
