So if i want to have a sine with frequency 1 hz and 256 samples per sine
period i have to set samplerate to 256 ?

1hz = 256/256

The head block has 2 parameters: number of items, vector length

The number of items is the amount of samples for a sine period = 256 in
this case ?

This works perfect. Now i have a table with one sine period.

Now this is non specific gnuradio question, but how is it possible with
python to create a sine with 1 hz from this lookup table.

My first idea is: python has to sample the 256 samples (for one period)
from lookup table in exactly one second. So i think i need a timer which
calls the next sample in the lookup table all 3,9 ms.

and maybe faster ?!
