I am looking for a finance data set. Particularly, I am interested in EuroStoxx50 or indices like S&P 500, and DAX data sets.

Get free historical data for EU Stoxx50. You'll find the closing price, open, high, low, change, and %change for the selected range of dates. The data can be viewed in daily, weekly or monthly time intervals
Historical stock data for all current S&P 500 companies
Stock market data can be interesting to analyze and as a further incentive, strong predictive models can have a large financial payoff. The amount of financial data on the web is seemingly endless. A large and well-structured dataset on a wide array of companies can be hard to come by. Here they provided a dataset with historical stock prices (last 5 years) for all companies currently found on the S&P 500 index.
The script used to acquire all of these .csv files can be found in this GitHub repository
Quandl is likely to be your best bet. If you want price and volume data, you can look for indices (not all are available) or the continuous futures datasets (e.g. CHRIS/CME_ES1 for front-month S&P 500 futures).
