Adolf VIII, Count of Schauenburg and Holstein-Pinneberg

Adolf VIII (c. 1325–1370) ruled the counties of Holstein-Pinneberg and Schauenburg, succeeding his father Adolf VII. He captured Pinneberg Castle from an obscure knightly family, probably shortly before setting out on pilgrimage to the Holy Sepulchre in Palestine.

He died on 13 October 1370 at Famagusta in Cyprus on that journey. He left no children, and his brother Otto I succeeded him.
