A steering column assembly having a vehicle-fixed mounting element and a sleeve element received in the mounting element, which is mounted displaceably in the axial direction in the mounting element for adjusting the steering column assembly. The steering column assembly further comprises an energy absorption device which can be firmly coupled to the mounting element and is firmly connected to the sleeve element, the energy absorption device being deformed in the event of a vehicle crash in consequence of a longitudinal displacement of the sleeve element, and at the same time absorbing part of the kinetic energy of the sleeve element during the event.
