I am searching for free event sources that I can use within my java-application. I am looking for something similar to YahooFinance, where one can query a bunch of stock info and retrieve the result as csv.
Ideally, an API or a URL with some query string would be perfect.

How about SuperFeedr?
You could also run some SPARQL-query on some SPARQL-Endpoint and "feed" the result back to your application. Here is a list of some endpoints (here including uptime and availability stats).
Twitter also offers an Streaming-API, where one can listen for status changes etc.
Another way could be to implement some HTML-crawler that extracts interesting facts from webpages, but that's probably not what you are looking for...
Kind of related:

for this you can use Rss4j api which provide both read feed and also create you own feed.
