Support device, in particular for a vehicle flap

A support device for a vehicle flap, comprising

• a housing which can be connected between the vehicle flap and the vehicle body, and which comprises at least a first housing part and a second housing part, wherein the first housing part and the second housing part are displaceable relative to each other in a telescopically guided manner,
• a spindle drive which is coupled to the housing, wherein the spindle drive comprises a spindle rod and a spindle nut in thread engagement with the spindle rod,
• wherein one of the spindle rod and spindle nut is arranged in the housing rotatably about a spindle axis and the other of the spindle rod and spindle nut is arranged in the housing non-rotatably, and
• a first brake device which is coupled to the one of the spindle rod and the spindle nut in order to brake the rotation of the one of the spindle rod and the spindle nut,
