I want to place a trigger on a table which writes all inserted / updated Data to an additional log file for processing with an external tool.
Is the a way to accomplish that?

You need to create triggers that execute after the table row has been altered and write to a log file using the UTL_FILE package.
The UTL_FILE package info can be found here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_file.htm
And Trigger documentation can be found here:
