The real plane never went into service. Most of them were scrapped, today only few parts are still existing.
This little tin plate toy of the Baade 152 was made in the GDR and partially also exported. The Airline is fictional, I guess.
When you ever have a chance to visit east Germany, go to one of the popular flew markets, then you may find one of the older VEB and Russian tin plane toys, such as IL-14, AN-24 and so on for reasonable price.
