I have a static chat page with Google DFP ads around it.
Is there a way to get those ads automaticly refresh every 5 minutes or so?
I just want to refresh the ads, not the whole page.
I know that Google offers some tags like googletag.pubads().refresh(); but im not sure if i can use them for this purpose.
Thank you

Yeah just set an interval of 300000 and use the refresh method like you mentioned. Technically I think it may be against the terms of service to refresh the ads on a timer without user interaction... but I'm not 100% on that and you would need to research the terms a bit more on the DFP site.
This code should help:
<html>
<head>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<!-- PUT THESE LINES ON THE FOOT OF YOUR PAGE -->
<script type="text/javascript">
setInterval(function(){googletag.pubads().refresh();}, 300000);});
</script>
