I found another working solution by Douglas.

This method removes all event handlers which are set on a specific routet event on a element.
Use it like

Remove_RoutedEventHandlers(myImage, Image.MouseLeftButtonDownEvent);

Full code:

/// 

/// Removes all event handlers subscribed to the specified routed event from the specified element.
/// 
/// The UI element on which the routed event is defined.
/// The routed event for which to remove the event handlers.
public static void RemoveRoutedEventHandlers(UIElement UIElement_Target, RoutedEvent RoutetEvent_ToRemove)
{
    // Get the EventHandlersStore instance which holds event handlers for the specified element.
    // The EventHandlersStore class is declared as internal.
    PropertyInfo PropertyInfo_EventHandlersStore = typeof(UIElement).GetProperty(
        "EventHandlersStore", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    object oEventHandlersStore = PropertyInfo_EventHandlersStore.GetValue(UIElement_Target, null);

    // If there's no event handler subscribed, return
    if (oEventHandlersStore == null) return;

    // Invoke the GetRoutedEventHandlers method on the EventHandlersStore instance 
    // for getting an array of the subscribed event handlers.
    MethodInfo MethodInfo_RoutedEventHandlers = oEventHandlersStore.GetType().GetMethod(
        "GetRoutedEventHandlers", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    RoutedEventHandlerInfo[] RoutedEventHandlerInfos = (RoutedEventHandlerInfo[])MethodInfo_RoutedEventHandlers.Invoke(
        oEventHandlersStore, new object[] { RoutetEvent_ToRemove });

    // Iteratively remove all routed event handlers from the element.
    foreach (RoutedEventHandlerInfo RoutedEventHandlerInfo_Tmp in RoutedEventHandlerInfos)
        UIElement_Target.RemoveHandler(RoutetEvent_ToRemove, RoutedEventHandlerInfo_Tmp.Handler);
}
