i wonder how to fill a form continously with html5/css3 to create a loading icon (spinner).
The fill should follow the red line (3) and leave the shape in same direction when it reaches the end (6)
If it would be a thin line i could work with fake line animation, but how i can do this with a thicker shape like this?

The main idea is using a very thick line with a changing stroke-dashoffset. I clip the line with your path.
In order to understand it better you may remove the clip-path attribute.
I'm using an input type range to change the value of the stroke-dashoffset
itr.addEventListener("input",()=>{pth.setAttribute("stroke-dashoffset",itr.value)})
<p><input type="range" min="0" max="235" value="235" id="itr"/></p>

UPDATE
The OP is commenting:
Is it possible to leave the scale-input and animate the filling so the fillup is automatically and when reaching the end that the fill is removing the same direction and when the filling stroke is then empty again, then start from beginning?
For this I'm animating the stroke-dashoffset of the red line from 235 to -235. This way after animating all the dash (from 235 to 0) the animation follows (from 0 to -235) and the gap is now visible.
#keyframes anim {
100% {
stroke-dashoffset: -235;
}
}
#pth {
animation: anim 5s linear infinite;
}

The below animation is pretty straightforward, or so I thought. You will notice that one of the strokes, and only one, starts going backwards. I fail to understand why this is the case.
.container {
width: 350px;
height: 350px;
}
#path1 {
stroke-dasharray: 170;
animation: animate1 5s infinite linear forwards;
}
#keyframes animate1 {
50% {
stroke-dashoffset: -16.4%;
stroke-dasharray: 0 87.5%;
}
100% {
stroke-dashoffset: -100%;
stroke-dasharray: 170;
}
}

Thanks for the help, appreciate any pointers.
The total length of the path path1 is 2000 px
If you want to get 4 segments with 4 equal intervals, then the length of one stroke will be equal to one eighth of the total length: 2000 / 8 = 250 px
In this case, write stroke-dasharray = "250, 250"
Animation is achieved by reducing the stroke-dashoffset from2000px to zero
.container {
width: 350px;
height: 350px;
}
#path1 {
stroke-dasharray: 250;
stroke-dashoffset:2000;
animation: animate1 5s infinite linear forwards;

I want the final effect to look like this.
Increase the stroke-width so it fills the shape and put a clip-path on the shape (use copy of the shape with the original stroke-width) so the stroke-width does not make the shape appear too bold.
Ive been following tutorials and i cannot figure out why the line animation is not working, the dash offset and dash array seem to be working but the animation is not.
here is the js fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/jp2ttb5L/5/

For google Chrome and other browser webkit based you can use -webkit to solve this issue:
.path {
stroke-dasharray: 1000;
stroke-dashoffset: 1000;
animation: dash 5s linear forwards;
-webkit-animation: dash 5s linear forwards;
}
#keyframes dash {
to {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}
}
#-webkit-keyframes dash {
to {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}
}
