This is a so-called Focus Free or Toy Camera, a simple plastic camera. The
Braun company, founded in 1915, has once made high quality cameras. The
company was sold to Reflecta, which later diversified into the low quality
market by the end of the 80s. This model is said to be from 1992, it's
quite common and exists in multiple colours.
Its
main features are:
Wide
angle plastic lens, focus free

The camera was delivered with a pouch.
These
are
the ultimate basics of a camera, focus free, single shutter speed and
fixed aperture. Point and shoot only. If you choose the right film, ISO
400 in general and ISO 200 on very sunny days, you can shoot outside
photos that look o.k.. The rest will be "Lomo" style, but you can use flash for interior
photos.
This camera is quite big.
