cqlsh's COPY command can be touchy. However, in the COPY documentation is this line:

The number of columns in the CSV input is the same as the number of columns in the Cassandra table metadata.

Keeping that in-mind, I did manage to get your data to import with a COPY FROM, by naming the empty fields (processstarttimeuuid and processendtimeuuid, respectively):

aploetz@cqlsh:stackoverflow> COPY process (processuuid, processid, processnumber, 
processname, processstarttime, processstarttimeuuid, processendtime, 
processendtimeuuid, processstatus, orderer, vorgangsnummer, vehicleid, fin, reference, 
referencetype) FROM 'Process_BulkData.csv' WITH DELIMITER = ';' AND HEADER = TRUE;

1 rows imported in 0.018 seconds.
aploetz@cqlsh:stackoverflow> SELECT * FROM process ;

 processuuid                          | fin               | orderer | processendtime            | processendtimeuuid | processid         | processname        | processnumber | processstarttime          | processstarttimeuuid | processstatus | reference  | referencetype | vehicleid | vorgangsnummer
