To clarify... This is at least partially the aftermath of a lawsuite if I recall correctly.
There was a case where a doctor listed abortions as one of their offerings on their website, and that was seen as an advertisement. [Citation needed, my memory might fail me here]
So "no advertisement" pretty much means "don't tell anyone anywhere beforehand".
And that was seen as non-helpful, especially as abortions are legal in Germany.

Nope, the criminal code forbids abortion, but doesn't punish it in some circumstance (within some months of pregnancy, after a counselling session and some time for thinking it over etc.) There are huge debates to make it more legal by turning this around or clearer restricting in criminal code.
- treffer 4y agoHrm, looked it up out of curiosity... §218a lists that it is not a crime under certain circumstances ("Tatbestand des § 218 ist nicht verwirklicht, wenn"), but the heading of that one is "Straflosigkeit", so "no punishment". IANAL but this reads like it is not a crime under the listed conditions. Which is different from no punishment.
- solarkraft 4y agoYes, that's what brought it back into the spotlight. The parties currently in the government all somewhat ran on the promise of overturning this law as a part of a general modernization (the more conservative party, which is now out, blocked a lot of it).
