An adjustable steering column may include an actuating unit, a carrying unit, a transmission device, an energy absorption apparatus, and a coupling device. The coupling device may be disconnected from the actuating unit and/or the transmission device in a crash event, which enables movement between the actuating unit and the transmission device. The coupling device includes a pin-shaped holding element with a head, which holding element is fixed in a counterholder. An element that is connected fixedly to the transmission device or the actuating unit may be arranged between the counterholder and the head. A second thickness of all the elements arranged between the counterholder and the head may be smaller, in the case of a movement of the actuating unit relative to the transmission device, than a first thickness of all the elements in the case where the actuating unit is fixed relative to the transmission device.
